About our corporate paella catering in Aldgate

A paella station turns lunch into part of the event. We are often asked to cater christmas parties and summer staff parties, with vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.

Around Aldgate, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Planners, venues and businesses

Organising a club, school or community event in Aldgate? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Should I cook it myself?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

FAQs for Aldgate

Which station should guests use for Aldgate?

Aldgate has its own station: London Fenchurch Street station.

Is parking a problem for events in Aldgate?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Do you cater for young children?

Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.

Can you serve drinks?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

How long do you need on site?

We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Aldgate?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

Is live paella right for your work event?

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

How it works

On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. In Aldgate, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, 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. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

How to prepare

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Check the venue allows live cooking
