Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. For a late-May party in North Harrow, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

North Harrow: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in North Harrow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cover North Harrow?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and North Harrow is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
