Corporate paella catering in Kensington, cooked live
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Whether it’s client hospitality and charity days, we will put together a menu of paella lunches, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Around Kensington, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Kensington questions
What’s the nearest station to Kensington for guests?
Kensington Olympia station, in Kensington itself.
Could we have live paella in Holland Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Kensington.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Kensington, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Leave space around the cooking area
