Common questions in Coombe
Could we have live paella in Cottenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Coombe?
The closest is Norbiton station, roughly 1 mile away.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Paella compared with other options
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

What corporate paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Coombe, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Coombe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
