Should I cook it myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Dishes our guests love

Canapé tapas

Canapé tapas suit client events.

Paella lunches

A paella lunch feeds a team fast.

Space, weather and the venue

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

Petersham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Petersham questions

Is parking a problem for events in Petersham?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.

Can you cook in Marble Hill Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Do you cater at business parks?

Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.

How long do you need on site?

We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

What do you need at the venue?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Do you cook inside?

Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Can you do a team-building activity?

Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.

How the day works

On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Petersham, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

How to prepare

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

How to get a price

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
