How our corporate paella catering works in Borstal
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. We are frequently asked to cater conferences and training days and summer parties for staff, serving canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
Teams near Borstal often go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Tell us about the site and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What affects the price in Borstal
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Guest numbers
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- How many courses
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The courses you’d like
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What the venue already provides
- The date and rough timings
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

FAQs for Borstal
Is Borstal close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in Baty's Marsh?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you come to Borstal?
Yes, we do. Borstal is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
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 cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Why choose live paella in Borstal?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Borstal, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Plan cover in case of rain
