FAQs for Wallend
Could we have live paella in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What about parking in Wallend?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we will send what you need.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Wallend is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
