For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

FAQs for Spring Park
What about parking in Spring Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Spring Park for guests?
West Wickham station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cover Spring Park?
We do. Spring Park is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

How the day works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a summer wedding in Spring Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
