Questions from Bexley Riverside
Is parking a problem for events in Bexley Riverside?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
We’re having a ceremony at St Paul's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you cover Bexley Riverside?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Bexley Riverside is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
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.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Bexley Riverside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why book with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Drinks service on request
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
