How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer drinks reception in Enfield Highway has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:50pm, are better indoors.

Questions from Enfield Highway
Can you cook in Gunpowder Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St James' Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in Enfield Highway?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Enfield Highway and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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.
