How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. After-work summer parties in Gidea Park have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.

Questions from Gidea Park
Can you cook in Raphael Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Gidea Park?
Gidea Park station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we will provide it.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
