Corporate paella catering for your work event in Nunhead

Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella ticks every box. For conferences and training days and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of bowl food, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.

In Nunhead, 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 the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What happens on the day

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Nunhead, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

Can I cook paella for a crowd 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.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
