North Harrow questions

Is parking a problem for events in North Harrow?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

Could we have live paella in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities around your timings and courses. Tell us more for a suggestion.

Is halal food available?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

Can you do sangria?

We can add sangria and bar staff.

How much space do you need?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Are the tapas fresh?

Hot tapas are finished on site.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
