Pentonville: your questions answered

Is parking a problem for events in Pentonville?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.

Can you cook in Barnard Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Can you do sangria?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

How many paellas should we have?

Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

Do you work in winter?

Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.

How our corporate paella catering works in Pentonville

Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we’ll work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and we are often booked for customer events and christmas and end-of-year parties.

In Pentonville, work lunches are often short, so we plan for fast service. Let us know about access and loading. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 handles separate pans for each diet.

About the dishes

Bowl food

Bowls are perfect for mingling.

Canapé tapas

Canapé tapas suit client events.

Space, weather and the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

Pentonville is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.

  • Think about shade and seating

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.

Step by step

Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. December events in Pentonville are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Prices and what affects them

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The number of people
  • Timings and hours
  • Parking and unloading
  • The paellas you choose

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Details that help

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • What the venue already provides
  • A picture of where we’d cook

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
