Planning the cooking area

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:

  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot

As a London location, Dollis Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Step by step

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. December events in Dollis Hill are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Bowl food

Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.

Canapé tapas

Paella compared with other options

A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Dollis Hill questions

Could we have live paella in Gladstone Park?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

What’s the nearest station to Dollis Hill for guests?

Brent Cross West station, in Dollis Hill itself.

Is the paella cooked on site?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Send us the venue’s requirements.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

Is halal food available?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

Can staff get involved?

Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
