How our corporate paella catering works in Bell Green
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Whether it is team lunches and client and customer events, we will put together a menu of paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Around Bell Green, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Bell Green
Could we have live paella in Mayow Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Bell Green?
Lower Sydenham station, in Bell Green itself.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Bell Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
