Corporate paella catering for Muswell Hill events

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Corporate paella catering in Muswell Hill, made fresh on the day

A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Popular choices include bowl food, canapé tapas and paella lunches, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and team lunches.

For offices in and around Muswell Hill, the cooking spot is typically a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

What happens on the day

The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Muswell Hill, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Space, weather and the venue

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

Muswell Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
