Corporate paella catering in Beckton, made fresh on the day

- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, Beckton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Common questions in Beckton
What about parking in Beckton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Beckton District Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you cover Beckton?
We do. We cook at events in Beckton and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.

Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
