DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Where we can cook in Tower Hill
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Firm, level ground
Tower Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Tower Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare

- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
