Corporate paella catering in Little Venice, cooked live

For client events, presentation matters: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. For summer parties for staff and team-building days, we will put together a menu of bowl food, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella for your guests.

Around Little Venice, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams usually need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Little Venice: your questions answered

Could we have live paella in Kensington Gardens?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Which station should guests use for Little Venice?

London Paddington station, in Little Venice itself.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

Where do you cater?

We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Before you choose a spot

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot

As a London location, Little Venice is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Paella compared with other options

For catering that’s part of the event, live paella stands out. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Why us?

  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Events in Little Venice and across Greater London
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

See Our pricing And The cost guide.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

How it works

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Little Venice, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.
