Corporate paella catering in Finchley, made fresh on the day
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella does all three. Popular choices include bowl food, paella lunches and vegan and vegetarian paella, and typical bookings are for company summer parties and team-building events.
For offices in and around Finchley, the cooking spot is usually a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Finchley
Could we have live paella in Victoria Park?

How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
