Corporate paella catering in Telegraph Hill, cooked live
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and service from the pan keeps queues short. On the menu are paella lunches, canapé tapas and bowl food, and typical bookings are for charity and fundraising events and launches and open days.
In Telegraph Hill, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Common questions in Telegraph Hill
Which station should guests use for Telegraph Hill?
Brockley station, in Telegraph Hill itself.
Could we have live paella in Fordham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
