Corporate paella catering for Oad Street events
About our corporate paella catering in Oad Street
At client events, presentation counts: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. Typical bookings include team-building events and away days and office lunches, with bowl food, Spanish desserts and paella lunches.
Team away days in the countryside around Oad Street suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Get facilities approval early
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.

FAQs for Oad Street
Which station should guests use for Oad Street?
Newington station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Why choose live paella in Oad Street?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
