About our corporate paella catering in Donnybrook Quarter
For client events, presentation matters: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. On the menu are Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food, and we’re frequently booked for charity and fundraising events and customer events.
In Donnybrook Quarter, work lunches are often short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Let us know about access and loading. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Donnybrook Quarter: your questions answered
Can you cook in Grove Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is parking a problem for events in Donnybrook Quarter?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Facilities approval and any site rules
As a London location, Donnybrook Quarter 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 before booking.
On the menu in Donnybrook Quarter
- Canapé tapas

Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us

- Hot food served quickly from the pan

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What corporate paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need crockery
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
