Corporate paella catering in Paddington
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. December events in Paddington are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare

Corporate paella catering in Paddington, cooked live
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Typical bookings include company summer parties and christmas and end-of-year parties, with canapé tapas, paella lunches and bowl food.
In Paddington, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Paddington questions
Can you cook in Royal Parks of London?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is parking a problem for events in Paddington?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
What documents can you provide?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will explain how we work.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Dishes our guests love
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A proper vegetarian or vegan main, not an afterthought.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What corporate paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

What we need at the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Paddington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Desserts
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Drinks service
- Canapé tapas
- Bowl food
- Paella lunches
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Why choose live paella in Paddington?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Fast service from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Drinks service on request
- Real theatre, not just catering
