Corporate paella catering in Longlands
How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. After-work summer parties in Longlands have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Longlands questions
What’s the nearest station to Longlands for guests?
New Eltham station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for events in Longlands?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll see what works.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

How quickly can you serve a big group?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

How we price corporate paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
