Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, Blendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, 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.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, it’s light in Blendon until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
How to get a price
