Corporate paella catering near Gants Hill
Corporate paella catering in Gants Hill, cooked live
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. Typical bookings include summer parties for staff and conferences and training days, with bowl food, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
For offices in and around Gants Hill, the cooking spot is generally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Paella compared with other options
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Gants Hill, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Paella lunches
A paella lunch feeds a team fast.
Should I cook it 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
As a London location, Gants Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
