Corporate paella catering in Russell Hill

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Russell Hill

A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. On the menu are Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater customer events and office lunches and away days.

London work events in Russell Hill often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Is live paella right for your work event?

If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. 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.

What you get with us

  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • Sangria and bar staff available
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site

How it works

On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. December events in Russell Hill are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Give us your final numbers and diets

Our caterer checklist

Catering for every guest

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Get facilities approval early
  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol

Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.

Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.

Planning the cooking area

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

As a London location, Russell Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Dishes our guests love

Paella lunches

A paella lunch feeds a team fast, with every diet covered.

Bowl food

Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
