The process

We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. December events in Hornchurch Marshes are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan cover in case of rain

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

Hornchurch Marshes 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we offer

  • Paella lunches
  • Drinks service
