How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Planning an evening event in Tottenham? 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.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

Questions from Tottenham
Which station should guests use for Tottenham?
Bruce Grove station, in Tottenham itself.
Is parking a problem for events in Tottenham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.

Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

- What the venue already provides
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Expected numbers
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Tottenham 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’ll advise.
What we offer
- Vegetable paella
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Black rice (arroz negro)
- Paella Valenciana
- Mixed paella
- Vegan paella
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Occasions we cook for in Tottenham
Paella is one of the few dishes that handles mixed diets easily, because each version is cooked in its own pan. Nobody gets a token ‘special meal’.
Almost any gathering can work with live paella. In Tottenham, people book us for occasions like:
- Festivals, fairs and school events
- Milestone birthday parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Garden parties and summer barbecues
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like The Mulberry Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser.
