Corporate paella catering for Mayfair events
About our corporate paella catering in Mayfair
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. For open days and launches and christmas parties, we can cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and paella lunches and more.
For offices in and around Mayfair, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
For planners, venues and organisers

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Mayfair
What about parking in Mayfair?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Green Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can the team help cook?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Tell us how long the food break is
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Is live paella right for your work event?
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Mayfair is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
