Corporate paella catering for your work event in Maypole
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and charity days, with vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas.
In Maypole, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

How we price corporate paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The courses you’d like

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Maypole
What about parking in Maypole?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Which station should guests use for Maypole?
Knockholt station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Maypole is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Maypole, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
