What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a Christmas party in Aldborough Hatch, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Aldborough Hatch questions
What about parking in Aldborough Hatch?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Fairlop Waters?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Aldborough Hatch is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
