Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. In Highgate, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- 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 live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Leave space around the cooking area

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot as soon as it is ready. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Highgate
Can you cook in Whittington Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Highgate?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Do you come to Highgate?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Highgate and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Timings and hours
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Highgate 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 before you book.
