About our corporate paella catering in South Hampstead
Pans and serving points are planned around your schedule, so even a big team eats quickly. We cook canapé tapas, paella lunches and Spanish desserts, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year celebrations and conferences and training days.
For offices in and around South Hampstead, the cooking spot is generally 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.

South Hampstead: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for South Hampstead?
South Hampstead has its own station: South Hampstead station.
Could we have live paella in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
What paperwork do you have?

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For a Christmas party in South Hampstead, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
