About our corporate paella catering in Tufnell Park

Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and bowl food, and we are often booked for team-building events and launches and open days.

For offices in and around Tufnell Park, the cooking spot is normally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Facilities teams normally need to approve live cooking, and loading needs planning. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Planning the cooking area

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

As a London location, Tufnell Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Step by step

We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. For a Christmas party in Tufnell Park, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Before we arrive

Questions from Tufnell Park

What about parking in Tufnell Park?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

Which station should guests use for Tufnell Park?

Upper Holloway station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tufnell Park.

Can the team help cook?

Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

The menu, dish by dish

Canapé tapas

One-bite tapas served by staff.

Vegan and vegetarian pans

A real main for vegetarians and vegans, in its own pan.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Tell us how long the food break is

The cooking area stays tidy.
