Corporate paella catering for Church End events

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Why choose Love Paella in Church End

  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Sangria and bar staff available
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Corporate paella catering in Church End, cooked live

Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. We are often asked to cater christmas parties and team-building days, serving canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and bowl food.

In Church End, work lunches are often short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Timings and hours
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What to tell us

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Expected numbers
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • A picture of where we’d cook

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Church End, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Step by step

Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. After-work summer parties in Church End have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Planning for every diet

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking

The cooking area stays tidy.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

What we need at the venue

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking

As a London location, Church End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

What we offer

  • Canapé tapas
  • Paella lunches

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
