Should I cook it 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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Furzedown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Furzedown is about 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.
