How our corporate paella catering works in Upton Park
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We’re frequently asked to cater charity and fundraising events and team-building days, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and canapé tapas.
In Upton Park, work lunches are often short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
- Travel, parking and access
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything your venue supplies
- Your date and when you want to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Upton Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
