Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
If things run late, and we will adapt the timing so it is still served fresh.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
The Burroughs questions
What about parking in The Burroughs?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Hendon Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in The Burroughs, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
