How our corporate paella catering works in Kemptown
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas parties and summer staff parties.
Work events near Kemptown might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Live paella works in all of them. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Kemptown, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Kemptown: your questions answered
How far is Kemptown from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in Queen's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Get facilities approval early
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
