DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
About our corporate paella catering in Battersea
Summer parties, lunches, team days and client events are all on our list. We’re frequently asked to cater training days and conferences and charity days, with vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
In Battersea, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan for fast service. Let us know about access and loading. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. In Battersea, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

Live paella or other catering?

Why us?
