Corporate paella catering for your work event in Plumstead
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We cook bowl food, paella lunches and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for customer events and open days and launches.
For offices in and around Plumstead, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated.

What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Plumstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Plumstead, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Plumstead questions
Could we have live paella in Plumstead Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is parking a problem for events in Plumstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Plumstead?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and rough timings

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 will do the cooking.
