For rural venues near Heathrow, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Heathrow are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Think about shade and seating
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.

Heathrow questions
Is Heathrow too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Heathrow close to London?
About 16 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What paperwork do you have?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll send what you need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
