Corporate paella catering in West Hackney, cooked live
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. We are frequently asked to cater team-building events and office lunches and away days, with bowl food, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
For offices in and around West Hackney, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, in its own pan.
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, West Hackney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Where the event is
