Corporate paella catering for your work event in South Kensington
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Typical bookings include open days and launches and end-of-year celebrations, serving Spanish desserts, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella.
In South Kensington, work lunches are often short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Let us know about access and loading. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Facilities approval and any site rules
As a London location, South Kensington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

South Kensington: your questions answered
What about parking in South Kensington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Could we have live paella in Burton’s Court?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What documents can you provide?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Fast service from the pan

About the dishes

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
