About our corporate paella catering in Willesborough
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and client hospitality.
Work events near Willesborough might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Paella suits all of them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
What affects the price in Willesborough
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many courses
- How many staff you need
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

- The courses you’d like
- The date and rough timings

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
What’s in the pans
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing and networking events.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, ideal for a lunch break.
Paella compared with other options
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Common questions in Willesborough
Could we have live paella in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Willesborough.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. After-work summer parties in Willesborough have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
