Your questions about paella party catering in Limmo Peninsula

Which station should guests use for Limmo Peninsula?

Custom House station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.

What about parking in Limmo Peninsula?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

What about pudding?

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.

Do you cater for children?

Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.

Do you cook at halls and clubs?

Normally, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

How long does the paella take?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Send a photo of the garden so we can check
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

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

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

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

What affects the price in Limmo Peninsula

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service
  • Parking and unloading
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Guest numbers

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What happens on the day

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. Sunset in Limmo Peninsula is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

  1. It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. On the day, we set up and get cooking.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
