About our corporate paella catering in Sutton
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we’ll work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. We cook bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and christmas and end-of-year parties.
Team away days in the countryside around Sutton suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

Work events in Sutton: access and travel
Sutton is about 3 miles south-west of Deal, in Kent. Whether your work event is in the middle of Sutton or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Sutton is one of 922 places in Kent where we cook. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (2.6 miles east). For a client event at a historic house or estate, ask early about catering rules and where cooking is allowed. For staff and clients coming by train, Martin Mill station is about 1.7 miles away. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
Corporate paella catering in CT15 is planned around your venue and your guests. From Vale Road and Church Hill or a nearby road, we’ll bring the pans to you. For work events just outside Sutton, we cover East Studdal (1 mile west), Martin (1 mile south), Studdal (1 mile west), Ringwould (2 miles south-east) and West Langdon (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north), Dover (4 miles south-west), Folkestone (11 miles south-west), Ramsgate (10 miles north) and Broadstairs (12 miles north).
A little further out are Royal Victoria Hospital (4.9 miles south) and Kent Museum of the Moving Image (3.2 miles north-east).
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Think about shade and seating
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Crockery and staff can be added.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Sutton
Is Sutton too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Sutton, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
