Corporate paella catering for your work event in Cricklewood

Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. We’re often asked to cater open days and launches and customer events, with bowl food, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella.

In Cricklewood, work lunches are often short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Tell us about building access and loading. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Step by step

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Cricklewood, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.

Planning help

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Prices and what affects them

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • The number of people
  • The length of service

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Before you choose a spot

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

Cricklewood 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.
