Where we can cook in The Burroughs

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager

The Burroughs is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Planners, venues and businesses

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Should I cook it myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What affects the price in The Burroughs

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

What we need to know

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • The date and time of the event
  • The address or venue name
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • A picture of where we’d cook

Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up

We leave the space as we found it.

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. After-work summer parties in The Burroughs have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.
