Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Merton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

Merton questions
Could we have live paella in Wandle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Merton for guests?
The closest is Haydons Road station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
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.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will see what works.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cover Merton?
Yes, we do. Merton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.

- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, your venue or SW19 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. In Merton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Why live cooking beats a buffet
