What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Arkley, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Where we can cook in Arkley
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Arkley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want to eat

FAQs for Arkley
Could we have live paella in Whitings Hill Open Space?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about parking in Arkley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
