Corporate paella catering in Botany Bay, made fresh on the day
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. For team-building days and customer events, we can cook canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts and more.
In Botany Bay, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Let us know about access and loading. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Questions from Botany Bay
Which station should guests use for Botany Bay?
Crews Hill station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for events in Botany Bay?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you cater in Botany Bay?
We do. Botany Bay is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
As a London location, Botany Bay is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For a Christmas party in Botany Bay, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
