Corporate paella catering for Forty Hill events

Corporate paella catering in Forty Hill, cooked live

Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Whether it’s product launches and open days and charity days, we’ll put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.

For offices in and around Forty Hill, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Planning for every diet

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

  • Share the timings for food
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers

Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.

Canapés for drinks receptions.

Planning the cooking area

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

As a London location, Forty Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Choosing a paella caterer

How the day works

The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Forty Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
