Corporate paella catering for Charlton events
Charlton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Charlton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could we have live paella in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can the team help cook?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

How the day works
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. December events in Charlton are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
