Corporate paella catering for Pegwell events
Common questions in Pegwell
Do you come out to small places like Pegwell?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater at business parks?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
About our corporate paella catering in Pegwell
Summer parties, lunches, team days and client events are all on our list, at offices, hired venues and outdoor spaces. We’re often asked to cater conference lunches and christmas parties, serving canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
At country venues around Pegwell, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Tell us about access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Pegwell, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Leave space around the cooking area

Pegwell for staff parties and team days
Pegwell is about 1 mile south-west of St Lawrence, in Kent. For corporate paella catering in Pegwell, we cater in back gardens, halls with outdoor space, barns, marquees and offices. Pegwell is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our events stretch from Pegwell to Canterbury (14 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (4.2 miles north-west). For a client event at a historic house or estate, ask early about catering rules and where cooking is allowed. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Ramsgate station, about 1.1 miles north-east. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
Here we cover the CT11 and CT12 postcode area, and we can cater your work event anywhere in it. Local streets include Saxon Road, Downs Road and London Road; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella. You will find Pegwell on the A299, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van and pans. Close by, we cover work events in Chilton (1 mile north), Cliffs End (1 mile west), Newington (1 mile north), Manston (2 miles north-west) and Haine (2 miles north). We also cook in nearby towns such as Canterbury (14 miles west), Margate (4 miles north), Dover (14 miles south), Broadstairs (3 miles north-east), Deal (8 miles south) and Herne Bay (12 miles west).

What we need at the venue

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Pegwell? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Have water and soft drinks available
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
