Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Questions from Newington Butts
Is parking a problem for events in Newington Butts?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Newington Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Newington Butts 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 will advise before booking.
What we offer
- Drinks service
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Canapé tapas
- Desserts
- Paella lunches

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Newington Butts, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
