Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Anything your venue supplies
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
Why choose live paella in Greengate?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

- Events in Greengate and across Greater London

The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. After-work summer parties in Greengate have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.

Common questions in Greengate
Can you cook in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Greengate?
The closest is West Ham station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Greengate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
