Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
As a London location, Primrose Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Primrose Hill: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Primrose Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
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 for a clear quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
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.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are 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 keeps things simple.
