Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Why Gospel Oak hosts choose us
- Live cooking, not reheated food

The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. After-work summer parties in Gospel Oak 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.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Think about shade and seating
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Gospel Oak is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
