About our corporate paella catering in New Charlton

Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Typical bookings include training days and conferences and launches and open days, serving bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.

In New Charlton, work lunches are often short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. In New Charlton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload

What we need at the venue

Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

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

Working with your venue

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Planning for every diet

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities

We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.

Paella in bowls for standing receptions.

Should I cook it myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
