Where we can cook in East End of London

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Send a photo of the garden so we can check

East End of London is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?

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.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Live paella or other catering?

A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Why us?

  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Events in East End of London and across Greater London
