Corporate paella catering in Sevenoaks, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. On the menu are bowl food, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are often booked for charity days and summer staff parties.
In Sevenoaks, team events tend to be at the office or a local venue. Paella feeds a team fast and covers every diet. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Common questions in Sevenoaks
Is Sevenoaks close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in Montreal Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How much space do you need?
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.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
