Questions from Thorncombe Street
Is Thorncombe Street close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Thorncombe Street too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. After-work summer parties in Thorncombe Street 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.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
