Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
Charlton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Charlton: your questions answered
Can you cook in Charlton Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Charlton?
Charlton station, in Charlton itself.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
