Should I cook it myself?
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
What’s in the pans
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives to start.
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels, for the fish lovers.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. For a late-May party in New Malden, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.

Questions from New Malden
What about parking in New Malden?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at New Malden Baptist Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you come to New Malden?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including New Malden. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is my garden big enough?
Typically, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a picture and we’ll check.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
New Malden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
