DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Is parking a problem for events in Burlington Estate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you have the documents we need?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.

What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
