Your questions about corporate paella catering in Anerley
Which station should guests use for Anerley?
Anerley has its own station: Anerley station.
What about parking in Anerley?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
What space do you need to cook?

How quickly can you serve a big group?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Corporate paella catering in Anerley, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. On the menu are Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for customer events and fundraisers.
In Anerley, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What affects the price in Anerley
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we are needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.
