DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Common questions in Tower Hill
Is parking a problem for events in Tower Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to Tower Hill for guests?
London Fenchurch Street station, in Tower Hill itself.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Tower Hill, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Facilities approval and any site rules
Tower Hill 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
