Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Questions from Harrow on the Hill
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about parking in Harrow on the Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers and we will plan for them.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
