- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Blackheath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Questions from Blackheath
What’s the nearest station to Blackheath for guests?
Blackheath station, in Blackheath itself.
Can you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Anything your venue supplies
- The courses you’d like
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
