What else we do in Walthamstow Village
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Walthamstow Village is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Walthamstow Village stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
