Corporate paella catering for Temple Bar events
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

- Think about shade and seating
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Temple Bar is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why us?
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Fast service from the pan
- Drinks service on request
- A clear, itemised quote

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. After-work summer parties in Temple Bar have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
