Why live cooking beats a buffet

If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • No hidden extras in your quote

Planning the cooking area

If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:

  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

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

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Mitcham

What about parking in Mitcham?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.

What’s the nearest station to Mitcham for guests?

Mitcham Eastfields station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.

Do you cook inside?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

Do you cater in Mitcham?

Yes, we do. Mitcham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Should we have more than one paella?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.

How much paella per person?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

What affects the price in Mitcham

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • The length of service
  • Guest numbers

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Details that help

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Where the event is
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Expected numbers

The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Mitcham, and we will put together a menu and price.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Dietary needs and planning tips

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Get facilities approval early
  • Tell us how long the food break is

If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.

Bar staff and sangria on request.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
