Corporate paella catering in Silvertown

Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:

  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Share the timings for food
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details

We arrive on time and follow your site rules.

About our corporate paella catering in Silvertown

Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. We cook paella lunches, bowl food and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity days and away days and office lunches.

Around Silvertown, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Facilities teams usually need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Who books corporate paella catering in Silvertown?

No kitchen required, so it works at offices, car parks, courtyards and outdoor venues.

Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We regularly cater:

  • Office lunches and away days

  • End-of-year celebrations

Our caterer checklist

Before you choose a spot

We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

As a London location, Silvertown 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 you book.

The menu, dish by dish

Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.

Paella lunches

A choice of paellas, ideal for a lunch break.

Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

How it works

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Silvertown are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

How to prepare

  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

How to get a price
