We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and training days and conferences, with paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food.

Step by step

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. December events in Elm Park are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

12 questions to ask before booking

What we need at the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

As a London location, Elm Park 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’ll advise before booking.
