How does payment work for businesses?

Do you cook at offices in central London?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Get facilities approval early
- Ask staff about diets in advance
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Cobham, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, 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.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

For event organisers in Cobham
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
