Corporate paella catering for your work event in Holloway
Live paella makes lunch an activity, not just a break from it. We’re often asked to cater client hospitality and christmas parties, with Spanish desserts, bowl food and canapé tapas.
For offices in and around Holloway, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Can the team help cook?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Holloway is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
