Corporate paella catering for your work event in Acton
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We cook paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are frequently booked for christmas parties and customer events.
For offices in and around Acton, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Acton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know the timings for the day

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
What does corporate paella catering cost?

Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Send us the venue’s requirements.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
