Why live cooking beats a buffet
For catering that is part of the event, live paella stands out. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

About our corporate paella catering in Hackbridge
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. Whether it’s charity and fundraising events and summer parties for staff, we can cook paella lunches, canapé tapas and bowl food and more.
London work events in Hackbridge frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Hackbridge
Is parking a problem for events in Hackbridge?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to Hackbridge for guests?
The closest is Mitcham Eastfields station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.
Do you cover Hackbridge?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hackbridge. For a quote, use our quote form.
How much space do you need?
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 are not sure.
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, Hackbridge 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 picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. 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.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Hackbridge, 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 pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
Ask for a quote
