Old Warren questions
How far is Old Warren from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could we have live paella in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Send us the venue’s requirements and we will respond.
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

DIY paella versus live catering
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Get facilities approval early
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
