FAQs for Norwood Green
Is parking a problem for events in Norwood Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Paella party catering for your party in Norwood Green
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and churros, and we’re regularly asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Most parties in Norwood Green are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a picture of the garden. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

How it works

- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
Tapas to start keep guests happy.

Is live paella right for your party?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you’re a guest too. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why us?
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Organising for someone else?
