Mottingham questions
What about parking in Mottingham?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Chinbrook Meadows?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cook at our office?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we will provide it.
Is live paella right for your work event?
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Get facilities approval early
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
