Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
The space is left clean and tidy.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
How our corporate paella catering works in High Barnet
Live paella makes lunch an activity. We are frequently asked to cater customer events and product launches and open days, with Spanish desserts, vegan and vegetarian paella and bowl food.
In High Barnet, work lunches are frequently short, so we plan pans and serving points to feed people fast. Let us know about access and loading. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Paella compared with other options
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. For a Christmas party in High Barnet, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
