Corporate paella catering in Little Portugal

Corporate paella catering in Little Portugal, cooked live

Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for open days and launches and team-building days.

London work events in Little Portugal frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan for fast service. Let us know about access and loading. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

What corporate paella catering costs

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Whether you need crockery
  • The length of service
  • How many courses
  • Waiting and bar staff

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Where the event is
  • The courses you’d like
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • The date and time of the event

Paella compared with other options

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Why book with us

  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • A clear, itemised quote

12 questions to ask before booking

DIY paella versus live catering

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
