Catering for every guest

The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Locksgreen have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Locksgreen questions
Do you come out to small places like Locksgreen?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you come to Locksgreen?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Locksgreen is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
