Live corporate paella catering in Stonecrouch
The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Stonecrouch are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- 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.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Why choose corporate paella catering in Stonecrouch?
It suits summer parties especially well, paired with lawn games and music.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Client hospitality
- Away days and office lunches

Nearby historic houses include Scotney Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and Wadhurst Castle (4.1 miles west). For a client event at a historic house or estate, ask early about catering rules and where cooking is allowed.
