Questions from Hendon
Is parking a problem for events in Hendon?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in Hendon Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Corporate paella catering in Hendon, cooked live
Corporate events need food that feeds a crowd quickly, suits every diet and does not stop people talking. Live paella does all three. On the menu are bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater summer parties for staff and product launches and open days.
For offices in and around Hendon, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The courses you’d like
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want to eat
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Hendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Canapé tapas
- Desserts
- Paella lunches
- Drinks service
- Bowl food
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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.
Paella compared with other options
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it is ready. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
