Live paella or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Events in Brockley and across Greater London
- A clear, itemised quote
- Sangria and bar staff available
Corporate paella catering in Brockley, cooked live
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We are often asked to cater team-building events and open days and launches, serving bowl food, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.
Around Brockley, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

We cook at work events all over the SE4, SE23 and SE6 postcode area and the streets around it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
What affects the price in Brockley
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The courses you’d like
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Brockley
Which station should guests use for Brockley?
Crofton Park station, in Brockley itself.
Can you cook in Blythe Hill Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Step by step
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. After-work summer parties in Brockley 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.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

About the dishes

Where we can cook in Brockley
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
As a London location, Brockley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
