How to compare caterers

Brunswick Park: your questions answered

Is parking a problem for events in Brunswick Park?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

Could we have live paella in Friary Park?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Do you cater for children?

Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.

What do you need at the venue?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Is my garden big enough?

Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we will check.

Is halal food available?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.

Can you cook indoors?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Make sure most people can sit to eat
  • Give separate numbers for children
  • Add a diet question to the invitation
  • Arrange a gazebo in case of rain

We are set up before guests arrive.

A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

How it works

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a late-May party in Brunswick Park, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

  1. Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
  2. We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
  3. We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

What paella party catering costs

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Your choice of paellas
  • The number of people
  • Starters, canapés and desserts

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Where the event is
  • The courses you’d like

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
