Common questions in Stocks Green
Is Stocks Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Stocks Green for guests?
Stocks Green has its own station: Hildenborough station.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can staff get involved?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Corporate paella catering in Stocks Green, cooked live
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We cook Spanish desserts, bowl food and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for fundraisers and training days and conferences.
Team away days in the countryside around Stocks Green suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

The process
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. In Stocks Green, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
