Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Choose pan-side or table service
We normally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Merton Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
