How our corporate paella catering works in Finkley
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Whether it’s away days and office lunches and customer events, we can cook paella lunches, bowl food and Spanish desserts for your guests.
An away day near Finkley is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Canapé tapas
- Bowl food
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Paella lunches
- Drinks service

- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Crockery and staff can be added.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Common questions in Finkley
Is Finkley close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Finkley too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
