Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. 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
Holland Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Holland Park
Is parking a problem for events in Holland Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Holland Park?
Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Get facilities approval early
- Let us know how long people have to eat
The space is left clean and tidy.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Holland Park, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
