Where we can cook in Coombe
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Coombe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Bowl food
- Desserts
- Paella lunches

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
What affects the price in Coombe
These are the factors that matter most:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Whether you need crockery
Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Coombe, it is 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, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
