Corporate paella catering for your work event in Albany Park

A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and typical bookings are for training days and conferences and client and customer events.

For offices in and around Albany Park, the cooking spot is generally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams usually need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Why choose corporate paella catering in Albany Park?

Nobody is left out: guests who are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal all get a proper hot meal.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

  • Team-building events
  • Away days and office lunches
  • Customer events
  • Summer parties for staff

Nearby historic houses include Danson House (2.2 miles north) and Red House (2.3 miles north-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers.

Comparing caterers

  • How late numbers can change
  • The venue requirements
  • How long the team stays
  • How bad weather is handled

Choosing a paella caterer

Step by step

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. After-work summer parties in Albany Park have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

How to prepare

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

How to get a price

Planning help

Catering for every guest

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities

Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

Common questions in Albany Park

Could we have live paella in Waring Park?

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

Which station should guests use for Albany Park?

The closest is Sidcup station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

How many paellas should we have?

Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.

How does payment work for businesses?

Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you cater for young children?

Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.

What about pudding?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

Can you cook in the rain?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Level ground for the pans and burners

As a London location, Albany Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

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

DIY paella versus live catering

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

What affects the price in Albany Park

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • How many courses
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Anything your venue supplies

Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
