Putney Vale: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Putney Vale?
The closest is Raynes Park station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is parking a problem for events in Putney Vale?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it’s light in Putney Vale until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Dishes our guests love
Churros
All ages love churros.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, ideal for guests who skip seafood.
