Studdal for staff parties and team days
Studdal is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. Whether your work event is in the middle of Studdal or on the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cook in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Studdal to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Martin Mill station is about 2.3 miles away. Central London is about 64 miles from Studdal, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
We cook at work events all over CT15. Whether your work event is on Chapel Lane, Homestead Lane and Northdowns Close or a nearby road, we can cook there. We also cook at work events in Ashley (1 mile south-west), East Studdal (1 mile north-east), West Langdon (1 mile south), Sutton (1 mile east) and Martin (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north), Dover (4 miles south), Folkestone (10 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Walmer Castle (4 miles east) and Dover Transport Museum (3.2 miles south).

Questions from Studdal
Do you come out to small places like Studdal?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Studdal from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
