About our corporate paella catering in Bandonhill
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Popular choices include bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for office lunches and away days and product launches and open days.
For offices in and around Bandonhill, the cooking spot is typically 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Bandonhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
