Corporate paella catering for your work event in Chelsea
Bowl food, canapé tapas and desserts can be added, and we will work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. Whether it is open days and launches and fundraisers, we will put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and Spanish desserts for your guests.
In Chelsea, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated.

What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests are eating
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we will put together a menu and price.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Chelsea? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. After-work summer parties in Chelsea have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.

Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Chelsea is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Chelsea
Which station should guests use for Chelsea?
The closest is London Victoria station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is parking a problem for events in Chelsea?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will explain how we work.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Tell us how long the food break is
