Corporate paella catering near Upton
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Upton
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We are frequently asked to cater customer events and summer staff parties, serving paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
For offices in and around Upton, the cooking spot is generally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

What happens on the day
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in Upton, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why book with us
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Facilities approval and any site rules
As a London location, Upton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
