Questions to ask before you book
- Whether travel is included
- The venue requirements
- Who provides the crockery
- Exactly what’s included in the price
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
As a London location, Sipson is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Step by step
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’s light in Sipson until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- 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’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Dishes our guests love
Tapas
A few tapas set the scene while they watch the pans.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser.
