Corporate paella catering for Clare Market events

How our corporate paella catering works in Clare Market

Bowl food, canapé tapas and desserts can be added, and we’ll work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. For fundraisers and training days and conferences, we can cook Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella for your guests.

In Clare Market, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

What you get with us

  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Drinks service on request

Space, weather and the venue

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

As a London location, Clare Market is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Clare Market

Could we have live paella in Lincoln's Inn Fields?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Is parking a problem for events in Clare Market?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.

Is halal food available?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

Do you come to Clare Market?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Clare Market is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

What about pudding?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

How much paella per person?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Can you do a team-building activity?

Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Tell us how long the food break is

The space is left clean and tidy.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.

DIY paella versus live catering

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

The process

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Clare Market, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
