Where we can cook in Moorhouse Bank
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Flat, firm ground
Moorhouse Bank is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For an evening event in Moorhouse Bank, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
