Paella catering in Tottenham Green
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Paella catering in Tottenham Green, cooked live
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We will recommend what fits your event. We’re frequently asked to cater staff parties and work lunches and weddings and evening receptions, with black rice, paella Valenciana and mixed paella.
London gardens are often long and narrow, which is fine for live paella as long as there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. For an event in Tottenham Green, tell us where we can park to unload. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Mention any other courses or food
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Ask for labels on each pan
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t provide them.
What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Tottenham Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
