Corporate paella catering in Bermondsey

Corporate paella catering in Bermondsey, made fresh on the day

Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Whether it is team days and customer events, we can cook paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.

For offices in and around Bermondsey, the cooking spot is usually a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

What affects the price in Bermondsey

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • How many staff you need
  • The number of people
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Travel, parking and access

Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • The date and time of the event
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Where the event is
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.

What’s in the pans

Vegan and vegetarian pans

A proper vegetarian or vegan main, not an afterthought.

Bowl food

Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Bermondsey: your questions answered

Is parking a problem for events in Bermondsey?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.

Could we have live paella in Bermondsey Spa Gardens?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Can we pay by invoice?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

How many different paellas?

Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.

Do you cater in Bermondsey?

We do. We cook at events in Bermondsey and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.

Do you do Christmas parties?

Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.

Will there be enough food?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Get facilities approval early
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers

If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.

Bowl food for standing events.

Live paella or other catering?

Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Where we can cook in Bermondsey

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

Bermondsey is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

How it works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. December events in Bermondsey are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

How to prepare

  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
