How our corporate paella catering works in Ruckinge
For client events, presentation matters: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. For charity days and conference lunches, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella.
An away day near Ruckinge is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Ruckinge, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- 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.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Ruckinge? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Fast service from the pan
