How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in South Chingford, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Questions from South Chingford
What about parking in South Chingford?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Can you cook in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
