Corporate paella catering for Woodford Bridge events

What we need at the venue

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

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

As a London location, Woodford Bridge 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’ll advise before booking.

What we offer

  • Bowl food
  • Desserts
  • Drinks service
  • Canapé tapas
  • Paella lunches
  • Vegan & vegetarian pans

Corporate paella catering for your work event in Woodford Bridge

Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Popular choices include bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we’re frequently booked for customer events and team-building days.

In Woodford Bridge, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Catering for every guest

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Share the timings for food
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol

We adapt if timings change.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

How it works

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in Woodford Bridge, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Woodford Bridge: your questions answered

Could we have live paella in Linder's Field?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Is parking a problem for events in Woodford Bridge?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Can you cook in the rain?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Do you cook inside?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
