Corporate paella catering for Castle Green events
How our corporate paella catering works in Castle Green
At client events, presentation counts: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. We cook paella lunches, bowl food and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater launches and open days and company summer parties.
Around Castle Green, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

For planners, venues and organisers

How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Castle Green, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Castle Green: your questions answered
What about parking in Castle Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Mayesbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
