How the day works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Barnet, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning the cooking area

- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
As a London location, Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

About the dishes

A real main for vegetarians and vegans, in its own pan.
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas suit client events.
Why choose live paella in Barnet?
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why Barnet hosts choose us
- Fast service from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
