FAQs for Totland
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
Totland is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
