How our corporate paella catering works in Hammersmith
Summer parties, lunches, team days and client events are all on our list, at offices, hired venues and outdoor spaces. We are frequently asked to cater office lunches and away days and team-building days, with canapé tapas, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Around Hammersmith, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams usually need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, 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 larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
We adapt if timings change.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
Common questions in Hammersmith
Could we have live paella in Brook Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Hammersmith?
The closest is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hammersmith? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Hammersmith 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 picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
