We plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so even a big team eats quickly. We’re often asked to cater fundraisers and team lunches, with paella lunches, Spanish desserts and bowl food.
For offices in and around Sutton, the cooking spot is generally a courtyard, terrace, car park or roof terrace, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan loading early. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Sutton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.

Planning help
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Get facilities approval early
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Share the timings for food
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Perfect for your work event in Sutton
Nobody is left out: guests who are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal all get a proper hot meal.
Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:

Nearby historic houses include Nonsuch Mansion (1.6 miles west) and Fitznells Manor (2.7 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers.

Sutton: your questions answered
Can you cook in Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What’s the nearest station to Sutton for guests?
Sutton has its own station: Sutton (London) station.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
