Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know how long people have to eat

- Ask staff about diets in advance
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.

Old Oak Common questions
Is parking a problem for events in Old Oak Common?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Could we have live paella in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
