How our corporate paella catering works in Crook Log
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Whether it’s office lunches and away days and charity days, we will put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and bowl food for your guests.
For offices in and around Crook Log, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams generally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. After-work summer parties in Crook Log have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
The menu, dish by dish
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing.
Paella lunches
A choice of paellas, ideal for a lunch break.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.

Crook Log: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Crook Log?
Bexleyheath station, in Crook Log itself.
Could we have live paella in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
