How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Surbiton Park stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Common questions in Surbiton Park
Can you cook in Hampton Court Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John's Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. Let the neighbours know.

How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
