Corporate paella catering in Bunce Common, cooked live
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for company summer parties and charity days.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Bunce Common
Can you cook in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How far is Bunce Common from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you invoice the company?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.

Paella lunches
A choice of paellas, quick to serve to a big team.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
