Dishes our guests love
Giant paella pans
It’s the huge pan people come to see.
Vegan paella
A proper vegan main, in its own pan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Common questions in Gordon Hill

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Could we have live paella in Enfield Town Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
