Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
As a London location, Rise Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, events in Rise Park stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-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.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Name one person we can ask on the day
