Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Brentford End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 will do the cooking.

- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Make sure each pan is labelled

Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Tapas or canapés make a good start while the paella cooks.
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. In Brentford End, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
