How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. After-work summer parties in Cowley have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Share the timings for food
We adapt if timings change.

Questions from Cowley
What about parking in Cowley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Cowley?
The closest is West Drayton station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Courtyards and terraces often work, subject to the building’s rules.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Cowley? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Cowley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
