How our corporate paella catering works in Dulwich
Live paella makes lunch an activity. For christmas and end-of-year parties and product launches and open days, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and bowl food for your guests.
In Dulwich, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Dulwich: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Dulwich?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Dulwich?
West Dulwich station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
The menu, dish by dish
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd, with every diet covered.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. After-work summer parties in Dulwich have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
