Woolwich questions
Is parking a problem for events in Woolwich?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Woolwich for guests?
Woolwich Dockyard station, in Woolwich itself.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

What corporate paella catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The number of people
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
