DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Corporate paella catering for your work event in Whitechapel
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. For fundraisers and team lunches, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, paella lunches and bowl food for your guests.
Around Whitechapel, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Whitechapel questions
What about parking in Whitechapel?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Finsbury Circus?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
As a London location, Whitechapel is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
