Corporate paella catering in Hackney Central, cooked live

For client events, presentation matters: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. Typical bookings include team-building days and charity and fundraising events, with vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.

For offices in and around Hackney Central, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams usually need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Choosing a paella caterer

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Why book with us

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
