Corporate paella catering in Woodford
Corporate paella catering in Woodford, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Typical bookings include launches and open days and training days and conferences, with paella lunches, canapé tapas and bowl food.
For offices in and around Woodford, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Let us know how long people have to eat
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
Bar staff and sangria on request.

Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Woodford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Woodford are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day

Woodford: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Woodford?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Bowls are perfect for mingling.
