DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in South Tottenham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

South Tottenham is about 2 miles west of Walthamstow, in Greater London. Wherever your party is in the N15 area, we will come to your venue or garden. South Tottenham is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 6 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of Holy Trinity, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. Parks such as Chestnuts Park usually need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

What affects the price in South Tottenham
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your party in South Tottenham, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, South Tottenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
