FAQs for Ponders End
What about parking in Ponders End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Could we have live paella in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will 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, including Ponders End.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can the team help cook?

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Ponders End, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Ponders End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

What corporate paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space, if you can
Send us the date, your venue or EN3 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
