Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Somewhere close to park and unload
As a London location, Canning Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Paella lunches
- Canapé tapas
- Desserts

How the day works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In Canning Town, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Canning Town
Is parking a problem for events in Canning Town?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
