About our corporate paella catering in Goodmayes
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. Typical bookings include charity and fundraising events and customer events, serving paella lunches, bowl food and canapé tapas.
Around Goodmayes, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

About the dishes
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Vegan and vegetarian pans

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. After-work summer parties in Goodmayes have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.

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 handles separate pans for each diet.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
