Your questions about corporate paella catering in Colindale
Can you cook in Sunny Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Colindale?
Hendon station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you cater a winter event?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will check with your facilities team.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Colindale 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’ll advise.
On the menu in Colindale
- Bowl food

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. After-work summer parties in Colindale have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.

- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing

What affects the price in Colindale
The price comes down to a few factors:
