Corporate paella catering in South Norwood, made fresh on the day
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Whether it’s office lunches and away days and fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of bowl food, canapé tapas and paella lunches and more.
Around South Norwood, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.

Is live paella right for your work event?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
