Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Get facilities approval early
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Where we can cook in Ham
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
Ham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Why choose live paella in Ham?
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Drinks service on request
- Events in Ham and across Greater London
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Step by step

After-work summer parties in Ham have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
