Questions from Brockley
Is parking a problem for events in Brockley?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Which station should guests use for Brockley?
Brockley has its own station: Crofton Park station.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Wedding paella catering in Brockley, made fresh on the day
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and we’re often booked for rustic barn weddings and sharing-style wedding meals.
In Brockley, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

How it works

Golden-hour photos in Brockley at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Brockley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Live paella or other catering?
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
