Corporate paella catering in South Lambeth, cooked live
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and bowl food, and we are often booked for company summer parties and conferences and training days.
Around South Lambeth, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
South Lambeth: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to South Lambeth for guests?
Vauxhall station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you cook in Vauxhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
Do you cater at business parks?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
What paperwork do you have?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
