Planning an event in Romney Street?
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
About our corporate paella catering in Romney Street
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Popular choices include bowl food, paella lunches and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater client and customer events and office lunches and away days.
For rural venues near Romney Street, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. December events in Romney Street are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
