DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Where we can cook in South Tottenham
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- An area to prepare hot tapas
- Room for a tapas table
- Space on each table
As a London location, South Tottenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in South Tottenham
Which station should guests use for South Tottenham?
South Tottenham has its own station: Seven Sisters station.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
How do you work out quantities?
That depends on their role in the meal. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest quantities.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Yes. Tapas can be booked without paella.
