Corporate paella catering for your work event in New Barnet
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. For team-building days and conferences and training days, we’ll put together a menu of paella lunches, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella for your guests.
Around New Barnet, office events tend to use courtyards, terraces and car parks. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Questions from New Barnet
Can you cook in Victoria Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for New Barnet?
New Barnet station, in New Barnet itself.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.

What corporate paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
