Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
About the dishes
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Waterloo is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Canapé tapas
- Desserts
- Bowl food
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Drinks service
- Paella lunches
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Tell us how long the food break is
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Waterloo, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Let us know the timings for the day
