Corporate paella catering in Dulwich Village, made fresh on the day
Live paella makes lunch an activity. We are often asked to cater office lunches and away days and open days and launches, with paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and canapé tapas.
In Dulwich Village, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Common questions in Dulwich Village
What’s the nearest station to Dulwich Village for guests?
North Dulwich station, in Dulwich Village itself.
Could we have live paella in Dulwich Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you cook inside?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
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.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
As a London location, Dulwich Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Organising for someone else?

Paella compared with other options

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Think about shade and seating
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
