Tooting questions
Is parking a problem for events in Tooting?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Which station should guests use for Tooting?
Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Do you cater at business parks?
Courtyards and terraces often work, subject to the building’s rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. December events in Tooting are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Share the timings for food
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
DIY paella versus live catering
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 will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Tooting is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in Tooting
