Live corporate paella catering in Blendon

Corporate paella catering in Blendon, cooked live

Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Whether it’s charity days and summer parties for staff, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, paella lunches and bowl food and more.

Around Blendon, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Live paella or other catering?

Read How we price And Our guide to catering costs.

How it works

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Blendon have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Should I cook it myself?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Space, weather and the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

Blendon 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 will say what we think before you book.

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

What corporate paella catering costs

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • The number of people
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Common questions in Blendon

What about parking in Blendon?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

Could we have live paella in Danson Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Is halal food available?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

How much paella per person?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Do you take everything away?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
