Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Horn Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. For a late-May party in Horn Park, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.

Paella compared with other options
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
