How our corporate paella catering works in Fish Island
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We are often asked to cater open days and launches and conference lunches, serving vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
Around Fish Island, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Fish Island, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Make sure we can park close by to unload

Questions from Fish Island
Is parking a problem for events in Fish Island?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to Fish Island for guests?
Hackney Wick station, in Fish Island itself.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cover Fish Island?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Fish Island and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Fish Island 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 you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
