Questions from Lisson Grove
Is parking a problem for events in Lisson Grove?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Regent's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
On request. Crockery or disposables are available.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
