Corporate paella catering for your work event in Barkingside
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. For summer parties for staff and charity and fundraising events, we can cook Spanish desserts, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
Around Barkingside, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Barkingside is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
