Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Permission from the venue
- Space for a serving table or station
- Space to finish hot dishes
Noel Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Evening receptions in Noel Park stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
- We check your date.
- You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
- We set up on arrival.
- Hot and cold tapas are served.
- We clear away at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

FAQs for Noel Park
Can you cook in Ducketts Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mark?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do we need staff for canapés?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
When should we book?
