Corporate paella catering for Headstone events

Corporate paella catering in Headstone, made fresh on the day

Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. On the menu are Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we’re often booked for conferences and training days and charity and fundraising events.

For offices in and around Headstone, 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. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.

12 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Timings and hours
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How many courses

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The date and time of the event
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Headstone, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.

Space, weather and the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

As a London location, Headstone is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we offer

  • Bowl food
  • Vegan & vegetarian pans
  • Drinks service
  • Canapé tapas
  • Desserts
  • Paella lunches

Why book with us

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu

How it works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. December events in Headstone are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Before we arrive

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Headstone questions

Can you cook in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Which station should guests use for Headstone?

Headstone has its own station: Headstone Lane station.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

What paperwork do you have?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.

Is halal food available?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.

What areas do you cover?

We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Do you cook it at the event?

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

How many different paellas?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
