Live corporate paella catering in Clapham
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 don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
How our corporate paella catering works in Clapham
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. Typical bookings include launches and open days and team-building events, with Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and bowl food.
For offices in and around Clapham, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Let us know how long people have to eat
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
