Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Where we can cook in Dancers Hill
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Dancers Hill 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 picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For a late-May party in Dancers Hill, 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.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
