Should I cook it 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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Rosehill 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’ll advise.

Rosehill questions
We are having a ceremony at St Peter's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What about parking in Rosehill?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables are available.
Do you cover Rosehill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Rosehill is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
