Corporate paella catering in Hackney Wick, cooked live

Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We are often asked to cater christmas parties and company summer parties, with Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and paella lunches.

In Hackney Wick, work lunches are often short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Let us know about access and loading. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Step by step

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. For a Christmas party in Hackney Wick, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Hackney Wick questions

What’s the nearest station to Hackney Wick for guests?

Hackney Wick has its own station: Hackney Wick station.

Could we have live paella in Mabley Green?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Do you cater in Hackney Wick?

We do. We cook at events in Hackney Wick and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

What about pudding?

We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Do you provide drinks?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

What corporate paella catering costs

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • The number of people
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What to tell us

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The date and rough timings
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The venue or postcode

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

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

Why choose corporate paella catering in Hackney Wick?

It is memorable.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

Dietary needs and planning tips

  • Confirm live cooking with facilities

  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Ask staff about diets in advance

Planning the cooking area

We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:

  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

As a London location, Hackney Wick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
