Corporate paella catering in Southborough, cooked live

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Southborough
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could we have live paella in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. After-work summer parties in Southborough have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know the timings for the day

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
