Your questions about corporate paella catering in Kenley
What about parking in Kenley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to Kenley for guests?
Kenley has its own station: Kenley station.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
What paperwork do you have?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How our corporate paella catering works in Kenley
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we’ll work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater team lunches and summer staff parties.
For offices in and around Kenley, 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. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
- The number of people
- How many courses
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Roughly how many adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Kenley, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Think about shade and seating
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Kenley, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Plan cover in case of rain

Is live paella right for your work event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
As a London location, Kenley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Drinks service
- Desserts
- Paella lunches
- Bowl food
- Canapé tapas
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas suit client events.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock.
