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 do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, if the building allows it.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
