Corporate paella catering for your work event in Seven Kings
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. For open days and launches and team days, we can cook vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and paella lunches and more.
For offices in and around Seven Kings, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it.

Live paella or other catering?

What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Seven Kings is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
