Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
- Space for a serving table or station
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
As a London location, North Brixton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
Staff carry canapés round and keep boards topped up.
Spanish desserts to finish.
Why choose live paella in North Brixton?
Generic canapés all look the same. Spanish tapas bring colour and flavour. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
Questions from North Brixton
Is parking a problem for events in North Brixton?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Max Roach Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can we add drinks?
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Do you supply canapé staff?
We can provide staff. Canapés need staff to serve.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
