Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
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.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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’ll do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Who books paella catering in Moor Park?
It’s ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, where guests can mingle while it cooks and then sit down to share.

- Whether VAT is included

Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Moor Park 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. Around midsummer it stays light in Moor Park until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Give us a contact for the day

FAQs for Moor Park
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about parking in Moor Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Do you cover Moor Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Moor Park is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
What happens with live paella?
We arrive with pans, burners and ingredients, cook while everyone watches, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the pans, burners and ingredients. You provide a suitable spot and access.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Other catering in Moor Park
Why choose live paella in Moor Park?
Food trucks and street-food vans serve one portion at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, so everyone can eat at the same time. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
