Corporate paella catering for your work event in Joyden's Wood
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. For training days and conferences and open days and launches, we’ll put together a menu of bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts and more.

Questions from Joyden's Wood
Could we have live paella in Dartford Heath?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Joyden's Wood for guests?
The closest is Bexley station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater at business parks?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.

About the dishes
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, in its own pan.
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Joyden's Wood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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 booking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
