Corporate paella catering near Collier Row
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
About our corporate paella catering in Collier Row
Bowl food, canapé tapas and desserts can be added, and we will work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. Popular choices include paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for conferences and training days and fundraisers.
Around Collier Row, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Collier Row questions

The closest is Romford station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What about parking in Collier Row?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
How soon do we need to book?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will confirm with facilities.
What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A proper vegetarian or vegan main, in its own pan.
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas suit client events.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Collier Row, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
