Paella lunches
A paella lunch feeds a team fast, with every diet covered.
Corporate paella catering in Stepney, made fresh on the day
Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and service from the pan keeps queues short. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas and end-of-year parties and launches and open days.
In Stepney, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. For a Christmas party in Stepney, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- 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.
Before we arrive

Stepney questions
Which station should guests use for Stepney?
Stepney has its own station: Whitechapel station.
Could we have live paella in Stepney Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Fast service from the pan
- Real theatre, not just catering

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
