Common questions in Pinner
What about parking in Pinner?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Pinner?
The closest is Hatch End station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Pinner is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Pinner to London (about 14 miles away).
Thinking of a party in Eastcote House Gardens? Cooking in a public park normally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Christian Science Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.

What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- Waiting and bar staff
- Timings and hours
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Pinner until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

- Name one person we can ask on the day
