Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Northumberland Heath is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Questions from Northumberland Heath
Is parking a problem for events in Northumberland Heath?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Braeburn Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you cover Northumberland Heath?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Northumberland Heath. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Is my garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Warn the neighbours
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Have enough chairs for most guests
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The courses you’d like
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Where the event is
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Why choose paella party catering in Northumberland Heath?
One big dish is simpler than lots of small ones.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Garden get-togethers
- Family reunions
- Milestone birthdays
- Retirement celebrations
Parks such as Braeburn Park typically need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is frequently easier.
