Southgate: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Southgate for guests?
The closest is New Southgate station, roughly 1 mile away.
Could we have live paella in Grovelands Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Southgate 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Desserts
- Canapé tapas

Why choose live paella in Southgate?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why Southgate hosts choose us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For event organisers in Southgate
Organising a club, school or community event in Southgate? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
