Corporate paella catering in Skeete, made fresh on the day

At country venues around Skeete, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why choose Love Paella in Skeete
- Sangria and bar staff available
- A clear, itemised quote
- Fast service from the pan
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Questions from Skeete
Do you come out to small places like Skeete?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Skeete?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you cater in Skeete?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Skeete and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can the team help cook?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
