FAQs for Bounds Green
We’re having a ceremony at St Barnabas Greek Orthodox Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in O. R. Tambo Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
A closer look at the menu
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives to start.
Churros
Churros are a treat for all ages.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Give separate numbers for children
- Warn the neighbours
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
Sangria sets the mood.
Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in Bounds Green 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.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Have a level space ready for the pans
