Corporate paella catering for your work event in Nine Elms
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We are often asked to cater client and customer events and charity and fundraising events, with paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.
For offices in and around Nine Elms, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
The cooking area stays tidy.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
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
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Nine Elms
What about parking in Nine Elms?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Pimlico Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Where we can cook in Nine Elms
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Nine Elms is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
