Corporate paella catering in Crouch End, made fresh on the day

Work events are diverse, and food can easily leave people out. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. For away days and office lunches and conference lunches, we will put together a menu of vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and canapé tapas and more.

In Crouch End, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

The process

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. In Crouch End, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

What corporate paella catering costs

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Whether you need crockery
  • The paellas you choose
  • Parking and unloading
  • How many staff you need

Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • What the venue already provides
  • The date and rough timings
  • Roughly how many adults and children

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Space, weather and the venue

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Facilities approval and any site rules

As a London location, Crouch End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
