Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Alperton questions
Is parking a problem for events in Alperton?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you cover Alperton?
Yes, we do. Alperton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Alperton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
