About our corporate paella catering in Northfleet
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for summer staff parties and christmas and end-of-year parties.
A summer party at the office in Northfleet is easy with live paella, as long as the site allows cooking. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
For event organisers in Northfleet
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
The cooking area stays tidy.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

Could we have live paella in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Can you do gluten-free paella?
