How the day works

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a Christmas party in Gunnersbury, it is dark by about 3:55pm, 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. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

How our corporate paella catering works in Gunnersbury

In Gunnersbury, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Live paella or other catering?

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Why book with us

  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Events in Gunnersbury and across Greater London
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Planning the cooking area

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

As a London location, Gunnersbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
