Live corporate paella catering in Skinners Green
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Skinners Green, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
FAQs for Skinners Green
Is Skinners Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can staff get involved?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
