Your questions about corporate paella catering in Pluckley
Do you come out to small places like Pluckley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Pluckley close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. After-work summer parties in Pluckley have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Leave space around the cooking area
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Share the timings for food
- Have water and soft drinks available
The space is left clean and tidy.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
