Common questions in Harlesden
Which station should guests use for Harlesden?
Willesden Junction station, in Harlesden itself.
What about parking in Harlesden?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we will respond.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Harlesden, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day

Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
