Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Bar staff and sangria on request.

- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Rayners Lane is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Questions from Rayners Lane
What’s the nearest station to Rayners Lane for guests?
The closest is Northolt Park station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you cook in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
What paperwork do you have?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

- VAT, if it applies
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- What the price includes, item by item
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.
How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Rayners Lane, 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.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
