Common questions in Dollis Hill
Could we have live paella in Gladstone Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is parking a problem for events in Dollis Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Paella party catering for your party in Dollis Hill
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. We are frequently asked to cater street and neighbourhood parties and birthday parties, serving seafood paella, tapas and mixed paella.
Throwing a party in Dollis Hill? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Mention any parking permits. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
