Corporate paella catering for your work event in Thamesmead
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. For open days and launches and christmas and end-of-year parties, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and Spanish desserts for your guests.
For offices in and around Thamesmead, the cooking spot is usually a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams generally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Thamesmead are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan cover in case of rain

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
As a London location, Thamesmead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
