Corporate paella catering for Finsbury Park events
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
How our corporate paella catering works in Finsbury Park
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. We are frequently asked to cater christmas parties and summer parties for staff, with Spanish desserts, bowl food and vegan and vegetarian paella.
For offices in and around Finsbury Park, the cooking spot is generally 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 every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Where we can cook in Finsbury Park
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Finsbury Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.

- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Think about shade and seating
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask staff about diets in advance
The space is left clean and tidy.
