Questions from Wanstead

Can you cook in Valentines Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

What about parking in Wanstead?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

Can you serve drinks?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Can you supply plates?

If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Is halal food available?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.

What documents can you provide?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

Space, weather and the venue

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager

As a London location, Wanstead is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

For event organisers in Wanstead

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Should I cook it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

How it works

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. After-work summer parties in Wanstead have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

How to prepare

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
