Live corporate paella catering in Erith

Diets, allergies and planning

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

How our corporate paella catering works in Erith

For client events, presentation matters: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. For summer parties for staff and christmas parties, we can cook Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella.

For offices in and around Erith, the cooking spot is usually a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Why Erith hosts choose us

  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • A clear, itemised quote

How it works

When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Erith, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Tell us where to park and unload

How to get a price

For event organisers in Erith

Erith: your questions answered

Which station should guests use for Erith?

Erith has its own station: Erith station.

Could we have live paella in Wildspace Conservation Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Can you do a team-building activity?

Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How many different paellas?

Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Erith.

Is halal food available?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Perfect for your work event in Erith

It suits summer parties especially well, paired with lawn games and music.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

  • Team lunches
  • Christmas parties
  • Team days
  • Conference lunches

Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Erith has its own station, Erith station.

12 questions to ask before booking

Planning the cooking area

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

Erith is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
