Creekmouth: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Creekmouth for guests?

The closest is Barking Riverside station, roughly 0.8 miles away.

Is parking a problem for events in Creekmouth?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.

When do you arrive?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.

How much is live paella catering?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you cater at business parks?

Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.

How many paellas should we have?

Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.

Do you work in winter?

Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.

What corporate paella catering costs

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Whether you need crockery
  • How many guests are eating
  • How many staff you need

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Where the event is
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Space, weather and the venue

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:

  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot

Creekmouth is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Live paella or other catering?

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Why Creekmouth hosts choose us

  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Live cooking, not reheated food

  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan

See Our prices page Or What paella catering costs.

Organising for someone else?

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Planning for every diet

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.

Crockery and staff can be added.

The process

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. After-work summer parties in Creekmouth have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Getting a price

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
