Corporate paella catering in Temple Fortune, made fresh on the day

Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Whether it is conference lunches and end-of-year celebrations, we will put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas.

London work events in Temple Fortune frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Let us know about access and loading. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Dishes our guests love

Bowl food

Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.

Paella lunches

Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.

Why choose live paella in Temple Fortune?

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Space, weather and the venue

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot

As a London location, Temple Fortune 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’ll advise before you book.

What corporate paella catering costs

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • How many guests are eating
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • How many courses
  • Timings and hours

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Details that help

The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • The date and rough timings
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • The address or venue name

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Temple Fortune questions

What about parking in Temple Fortune?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

Which station should guests use for Temple Fortune?

Brent Cross West station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

How many paellas should we have?

Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

Is halal food available?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.

Can you cook at our office?

Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.

What happens if it rains?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

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.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

How the day works

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. December events in Temple Fortune are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Tell us where to park and unload
