How our corporate paella catering works in Dancers Hill

Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. For christmas parties and summer staff parties, we can cook bowl food, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.

In Dancers Hill, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Tell us about building access and loading. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

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.

Dancers Hill questions

Could we have live paella in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Which station should guests use for Dancers Hill?

The closest is Potters Bar station, roughly 1.5 miles away.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Can you cater for children?

Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

Can you cater a winter event?

Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.

What space do you need to cook?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Where we can cook in Dancers Hill

Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Level ground for the pans and burners

As a London location, Dancers Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Our caterer checklist

Step by step

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Dancers Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Getting ready for the day
