Corporate paella catering in East Barnet, cooked live
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is the point of a team event. We cook bowl food, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for office lunches and away days and team-building days.
In East Barnet, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Let us know about access and loading. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

East Barnet questions
Is parking a problem for events in East Barnet?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to East Barnet for guests?
The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Where we can cook in East Barnet
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, East Barnet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. December events in East Barnet are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
