From a terraced garden to a hired hall, events in Yiewsley come in all shapes. Let us know where we can stop to unload, and whether there are steps or narrow passages. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Is live paella right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Questions from Yiewsley
Can you cook in Northala Fields?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the pans, burners and ingredients. You provide a suitable spot and access.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Planning an evening event in Yiewsley? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.

About the dishes
Black rice
Black rice gets its colour from squid ink, traditionally with alioli. It is a striking addition to a seafood menu.
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Tell us what else is being served
- Count adults and children separately
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who aren’t big rice eaters.

Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Yiewsley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
