Corporate paella catering in Lower Holloway, cooked live

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Lower Holloway
Could we have live paella in St Mary Magdalene Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is parking a problem for events in Lower Holloway?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
