About Ola Lola Catering & Events
Ola Lola Catering & Events is a Zetland-based crew run by Hector and Miguel, who bring Spanish and Latin food to parties across Sydney. The centrepiece is paella cooked in wide pans in front of the guests, with the classic mix of chorizo, chicken and prawns, a seafood version with mussels and calamari, and vegetarian or vegan pans on request. Handmade empanadas, chipotle beef meatballs and fresh salads fill out the table. Menus are set up as packages. The simplest is paella alone, then paella with a salad, a Latin spread that adds two empanadas per guest, a seafood-focused menu, and an all-you-can-eat option for bigger celebrations. Staff, set-up, serving gear and disposable plates and cutlery are part of each package, so the host has little to organise beyond the space. The crew is fully mobile and needs no kitchen, which suits backyard birthdays, park gatherings and office courtyards. For work groups there is a paella masterclass that can run as a team-building session, and a cooking demo can be added to a private party. The business also trades at Sydney markets, so many guests will already know the food. Packages carry a minimum of 25 guests and the team caters events of up to 500 people, from milestone birthdays and engagements to corporate functions and brand activations.

The packages list a minimum of 25 guests, and the crew caters events with up to 500 people, from family parties to large corporate functions.
Can we do a cooking class for our team?
