Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Get facilities approval early
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
We leave the space as we found it.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us

- Catering across Greater London, including Chelsea Harbour

Chelsea Harbour questions
What’s the nearest station to Chelsea Harbour for guests?
Chelsea Harbour has its own station: Imperial Wharf station.
Could we have live paella in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can staff get involved?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How we price corporate paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Anything your venue supplies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Chelsea Harbour is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Chelsea Harbour, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us where to park and unload
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
