Should I cook it 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

About our corporate paella catering in Temple Mills

Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. Typical bookings include product launches and open days and office lunches and away days, with paella lunches, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.

Around Temple Mills, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

What’s in the pans

Canapé tapas

Canapé tapas suit client events.

Bowl food

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking

As a London location, Temple Mills 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.

For event organisers in Temple Mills

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Temple Mills

What about parking in Temple Mills?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.

Could we have live paella in Mabley Green?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Do you cater in Temple Mills?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Temple Mills. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

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.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

How many paellas should we have?

Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

How do you work out quantities?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

The process

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. After-work summer parties in Temple Mills 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.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Plan cover in case of rain

How to get a price

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
