What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. For a Christmas party in Bishopsgate, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

Bishopsgate: your questions answered
What about parking in Bishopsgate?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to Bishopsgate for guests?
Bishopsgate has its own station: London Liverpool Street station.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you work in winter?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

What else we do in Bishopsgate
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Bishopsgate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Bowl food
- Drinks service
- Canapé tapas
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Paella lunches
- Desserts
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Is live paella right for your work event?
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
