Your questions about corporate paella catering in Turnpike Lane

Can you cook in Ducketts Common?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Is parking a problem for events in Turnpike Lane?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

What paperwork do you have?

Send us the venue’s requirements and we will respond.

Should we have more than one paella?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you work in winter?

With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Why choose live paella in Turnpike Lane?

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Paella lunches

A paella lunch feeds a team fast, with every diet covered.

Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking

Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.

Bar staff and sangria on request.

DIY paella versus live catering

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
