Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Bakers Arms is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Bakers Arms questions
Which station should guests use for Bakers Arms?
The closest is Leyton Midland Road station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could we have live paella in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
How it works
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 Bakers Arms, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
