Corporate paella catering in West Kensington, made fresh on the day
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and doesn’t stop people talking. Live paella does all three. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for charity days and customer events.
In West Kensington, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Let us know about access and loading. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

West Kensington for staff parties and team days
West Kensington is about 1 mile south of Kensington, in Greater London. From the centre of West Kensington to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. West Kensington is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cook.
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles north.
We cook at work events all over W14, SW6 and SW5 and the streets around it. Local streets include Sun Road, Star Road and Field Road; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella. For work events just outside West Kensington, we cover North End (1 mile west), Brook Green (1 mile north-west), Fulham (1 mile south), Hammersmith (1 mile west) and Brackenbury Village (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include London (5 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles north-east), Marylebone (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (5 miles north-east), Shoreditch (6 miles north-east) and Walthamstow (10 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Fulham Hospital (0.6 miles south-west) and Hammersmith Broadway (0.8 miles west). Open spaces near West Kensington include Campden Hill and The Long Water.

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Expected numbers
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
West Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In West Kensington, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Leave space around the cooking area
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
