Corporate paella catering in London
Corporate paella catering in London, cooked live
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for charity days and team days.
London has offices, business parks and hired venues that suit live paella. We need a ventilated spot and the site’s permission to cook. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- What the venue already provides
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Paella compared with other options
For catering that is part of the event, live paella stands out. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Fast service from the pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
