What else we do in Southall
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Clear information on power, water and waste
As a London location, Southall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
