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.

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.
