How our corporate paella catering works in Kennington
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we’ll work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. On the menu are vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for end-of-year celebrations and product launches and open days.
Around Kennington, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams usually need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Kennington have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Kennington 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’ll advise.
