Where we can cook in Botany Bay
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
As a London location, Botany Bay 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 you book.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
What’s in the pans
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid for fish lovers.
