FAQs for Colliers Wood
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Colliers Wood?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station should guests use for Colliers Wood?
Colliers Wood has its own station: Tooting station.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
