We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so a large team can be fed in a lunch break. Typical bookings include team-building events and charity days, with canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Canonbury, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Canonbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Canonbury
Which station should guests use for Canonbury?
Canonbury station, in Canonbury itself.
Could we have live paella in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can staff get involved?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you come to Canonbury?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Canonbury and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
