How our corporate paella catering works in Tonge Corner

Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. Whether it’s training days and conferences and office lunches and away days, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella and more.

An away day near Tonge Corner is a good fit for live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

About the dishes

Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.

Vegan and vegetarian pans

Cooked separately with their own stock.

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. We are happy to give you a quote to 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.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol

We arrive on time and follow your site rules.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Why Tonge Corner hosts choose us

  • Sangria and bar staff available
  • Everything cooked fresh at your event
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Tonge Corner

What’s the nearest station to Tonge Corner for guests?

Teynham station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.

Can you cook in Milton Creek Country Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Tonge Corner?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Can you cater a winter event?

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

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’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

What paperwork do you have?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.

Prices and what affects them

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How many guests are eating

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.

The process

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Tonge Corner, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. First, we check 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. Fast service, then we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
