How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Plaistow, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Questions from Plaistow
What about parking in Plaistow?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Plaistow?
The closest is West Ham station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can staff get involved?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
Is it really cooked live?

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Plaistow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Paella compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
