Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Clapham Junction: your questions answered
Can you cook in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is parking a problem for events in Clapham Junction?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
