Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for company summer parties and charity days.
London work events in South Ruislip often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan for fast service. Let us know about access and loading. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. In South Ruislip, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Tell us when you want to eat

Your questions about corporate paella catering in South Ruislip
Which station should guests use for South Ruislip?
South Ruislip station, in South Ruislip itself.
Could we have live paella in Northala Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How many paellas should we have?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through it.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
As a London location, South Ruislip is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
