- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
Surrey Canal is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

How our corporate paella catering works in Surrey Canal
Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Whether it’s team-building events and summer parties for staff, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Around Surrey Canal, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
