Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
As a London location, Osterley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. For a late-May party in Osterley, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.

Osterley questions
What’s the nearest station to Osterley for guests?
The closest is Isleworth station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you cook in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you cover Osterley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Osterley and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
