FAQs for Charing Cross
Which station should guests use for Charing Cross?

Could we have live paella in Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you cook inside?
Typically 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 cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- A quote that spells everything out

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Charing Cross have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Where we can cook in Charing Cross
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
As a London location, Charing Cross is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
