How our corporate paella catering works in Ickenham
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it is ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. We cook bowl food, paella lunches and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for open days and launches and charity and fundraising events.
In Ickenham, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. After-work summer parties in Ickenham have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Tell us where to park and unload

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
