The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. Evenings in Cubitt Town stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- 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
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
- Count adults and children separately
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
After service, we pack down our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter as the rice cooks.
Paella compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and it is entertaining too. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Why book with us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

FAQs for Cubitt Town
What’s the nearest station to Cubitt Town for guests?
Canary Wharf station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cook in Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you bring everything you need?
Pans, burners and ingredients all come with us. You provide a suitable spot and access.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Which paellas suit our guests?
Most events choose two or three: a mixed or chicken paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. See the sample menu.
What does paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
