Corporate paella catering for your work event in Barnes

For offices in and around Barnes, the cooking spot is generally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it.

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Facilities approval and any site rules
As a London location, Barnes 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.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
