What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
As a London location, Foxbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Planning an evening event in Foxbury? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

Sidcup station, about 1.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What happens with live paella?
We set up a cooking area at your venue, cook the paella from scratch in large pans while your guests watch, and serve it straight from the pan.
When should we book?
