Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Common questions in The Warren
Is The Warren close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re having a ceremony at St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A photo helps.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
It is one of the most popular pans at parties.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock, for the fish lovers.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Give separate numbers for children
- Have enough chairs for most guests
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
