Corporate paella catering for your work event in Mile End
At client events, presentation counts: staff-served canapés and paella bowls look professional. Popular choices include canapé tapas, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and client hospitality.
For offices in and around Mile End, the cooking spot is generally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams generally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Can you do sangria?

Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What space do you need to cook?

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

What corporate paella catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Travel, parking and access
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- What the venue already provides
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d cook
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Dishes our guests love

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Mile End, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
