The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. December events in Hackney are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Corporate events around Hackney
Hackney is about 4 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Hackney to the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Hackney is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Homerton station is in Hackney itself. With the A107 and B113 nearby, access for our van and equipment is straightforward.
Here we cover the E9, E8, E3 and E5 postcode area. That could mean a work event in a garden on Homerton High Street, Primrose Square and St John's Church Road. You will find Hackney on the A107 and B113, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van and pans. If your venue is just outside Hackney, we also cover Homerton (1 mile north), Lower Clapton (1 mile north), Hackney Central (1 mile west), London Fields (1 mile south-west) and Cambridge Heath (1 mile south-west). We also cook in nearby towns such as London (4 miles south-west), City of Westminster (5 miles south-west), Marylebone (5 miles south-west), Kensington (7 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles west) and Walthamstow (3 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Park (0.8 miles south-east) and Homerton University Hospital (under half a mile north). Not far away are Tower Hill and Old Ford Island.
- Local schools include Cardinal Pole Catholic School (under half a mile north) and The Urswick School (within half a mile west)
- Pubs nearby include Chesham Arms (under half a mile north-west)
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Hackney is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
