Corporate paella catering near Newington
Newington: your questions answered
How far is Newington from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
About our corporate paella catering in Newington
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event. We cook bowl food, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re frequently booked for open days and launches and customer events.
Teams near Newington frequently go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Let us know about the site. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Newington, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
