FAQs for North Hyde
We’re having a ceremony at St Leonard's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

Southall station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Evenings in North Hyde stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
