Live corporate paella catering in Chingford
Corporate paella catering in Chingford, made fresh on the day
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Whether it is charity and fundraising events and summer parties for staff, we can cook paella lunches, bowl food and Spanish desserts.
For offices in and around Chingford, the cooking spot is usually a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

How we price corporate paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
- How long we are needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Which courses you have in mind
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Chingford, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- A clear, itemised quote
See Our prices page And The cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Step by step

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
