Planning an event in Bentley Heath?

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Before you choose a spot

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking

As a London location, Bentley Heath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Organising a club, school or community event in Bentley Heath? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

How it works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. After-work summer parties in Bentley Heath have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

How to prepare

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Common questions in Bentley Heath

Could we have live paella in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

What about parking in Bentley Heath?

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

Do you do desserts?

We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

Can you cook indoors?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

How many different paellas?

Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
