About our corporate paella catering in Tapnage
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. On the menu are bowl food, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we’re often booked for team days and open days and launches.
At country venues around Tapnage, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. In Tapnage, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
FAQs for Tapnage
How far is Tapnage from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook near the sea around Tapnage?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Send us the venue’s requirements and we will respond.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
