Corporate paella catering in Broad Street
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
About our corporate paella catering in Broad Street
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. On the menu are bowl food, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for customer events and team days.
Team away days in the countryside around Broad Street suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Common questions in Broad Street
Do you come out to small places like Broad Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
