Corporate paella catering in Ramsgate, cooked live
We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. For christmas parties and team lunches, we can cook paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
A summer party at the office in Ramsgate is easy with live paella, as long as the site allows cooking. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. December events in Ramsgate are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, 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.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Ramsgate questions
Can you cook near the sea around Ramsgate?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Ramsgate close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Share the timings for food
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
We adapt if timings change.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
