Corporate paella catering for your work event in Canary Wharf
We cater summer parties, office lunches, team days, open days and client events. Typical bookings include company summer parties and conference lunches, serving paella lunches, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
Around Canary Wharf, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, Canary Wharf is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Catering across Greater London, including Canary Wharf
