DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For event organisers in Brockley Hill
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

FAQs for Brockley Hill
What’s the nearest station to Brockley Hill for guests?
Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 1.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cook in Edgwarebury Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What does tapas catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Is live paella right for your event?
Standard canapés can feel samey. Tapas bring something different. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
