Corporate paella catering in Trottiscliffe, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Whether it is launches and open days and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas for your guests.
For rural venues near Trottiscliffe, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
For event organisers in Trottiscliffe
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. December events in Trottiscliffe are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us where to park and unload

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
