Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Blackwall, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

- Have water and soft drinks available
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.

Blackwall questions
What about parking in Blackwall?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Can you cook in Bow Creek Ecology Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How many different paellas?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

Where we can cook in Blackwall
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
Blackwall 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’ll advise.
