About our corporate paella catering in Mortlake
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event. Whether it’s team-building days and company summer parties, we can cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and bowl food and more.
For offices in and around Mortlake, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Mortlake are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
