About our corporate paella catering in Ticehurst

Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for launches and open days and conferences and training days.

For rural venues near Ticehurst, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

How it works

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. After-work summer parties in Ticehurst have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

What corporate paella catering costs

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • How many guests are eating
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Parking and unloading
  • How many courses

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Details that help

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Where the event is
  • The date and time of the event
  • Diets and allergies you know about

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

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.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

How many different paellas?

Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
