About our corporate paella catering in Green Park
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We are often asked to cater customer events and fundraisers, with paella lunches, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella.
An away day near Green Park is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why us?
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Green Park
Which station should guests use for Green Park?
Reading Green Park station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
How far is Green Park from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will confirm with facilities.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
Paella lunches
A paella lunch feeds a team fast, with every diet covered.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Green Park, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
