Your questions about corporate paella catering in West Dulwich

Could we have live paella in Long Meadow?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Which station should guests use for West Dulwich?

West Dulwich has its own station: Sydenham Hill station.

Can we pay by invoice?

Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.

How many paellas should we have?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Do you take everything away?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

What corporate paella catering costs

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • The paellas you choose
  • How many staff you need
  • How long we are needed on site

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • Roughly how many adults and children

It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

The menu, dish by dish

Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff.

Bowl food

Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.

Before you choose a spot

Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager

As a London location, West Dulwich is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
