Your questions about corporate paella catering in St James's
Can you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?

London Charing Cross station, in St James's itself.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you offer halal options?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
How much space do you need?

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
