Popular choices include black rice, vegan paella and vegetable paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and staff parties and work lunches.
From a terraced garden to a hired hall, events in Seven Sisters come in all shapes. Let us know where we can stop to unload, and whether there are steps or narrow passages. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

About the dishes
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron.
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, traditionally with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Tell us what else is being served
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Tell us how many children are coming
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
For event organisers in Seven Sisters
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Seven Sisters is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
