The process
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Royal Docks, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Leave space around the cooking area

London work events in Royal Docks often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Royal Docks
Which station should guests use for Royal Docks?
Custom House station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Beckton District Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. 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.

Where we can cook in Royal Docks

- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
Royal Docks is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
