Limehouse: your questions answered
Can you cook in Bartlett Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Limehouse?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Absolutely. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

- Make allergen information visible at every stall

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For an evening event in Limehouse, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests are eating
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Which courses you have in mind
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
