FAQs for Greenhill

Could we have live paella in Northwick Park?

Harrow-on-the-Hill station, in Greenhill itself.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Is my garden big enough?

Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.

Can you do sangria?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Can you supply plates?

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

How our paella party catering works in Greenhill

Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. Popular choices include mixed paella, tapas and churros, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving parties and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.

Most parties in Greenhill are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A picture of the garden helps. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Let the neighbours know
  • Have enough chairs for most guests
  • Give separate numbers for children
  • Add a diet question to the invitation

Kids are fascinated by the huge pans, from a safe distance.

Add bread, salad and lemon.

What happens on the day

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Greenhill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Choosing a paella caterer

For event organisers in Greenhill

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

What affects the price in Greenhill

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • How many courses
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Timings and hours

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • The venue or postcode
  • What the venue already provides
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • A picture of where we’d cook

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Space, weather and the venue

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Level ground for the pans and burners

As a London location, Greenhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
