Your questions about corporate paella catering in Ditton
How far is Ditton from London?
About 20 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in Ditton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
A closer look at the menu
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Ditton have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Planning help
Is live paella right for your work event?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
