How our corporate paella catering works in Lower Clapton
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. Typical bookings include training days and conferences and client hospitality, with bowl food, canapé tapas and paella lunches.
Around Lower Clapton, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams generally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

- Provide shade and seats outdoors
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Lower Clapton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Bowl food
- Paella lunches
- Vegan & vegetarian pans

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if you can
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Lower Clapton
Is parking a problem for events in Lower Clapton?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Millfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
What’s in the pans
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, ideal for a lunch break.
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.
