Corporate paella catering for your work event in Wennington
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. For end-of-year celebrations and open days and launches, we can cook paella lunches, bowl food and canapé tapas for your guests.
Around Wennington, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams generally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

FAQs for Wennington
Could we have live paella in Wildspace Conservation Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Wennington?
Rainham (Essex) station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What’s in the pans
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock, so everyone eats well.
What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
