Your questions about paella party catering in Manor House
What’s the nearest station to Manor House for guests?
Harringay Green Lanes station, in Manor House itself.
What about parking in Manor House?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Typically, if there is outdoor space to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check
As a London location, Manor House is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. Sunset in Manor House is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Is live paella right for your party?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
