Questions from Leadingcross Green
How far is Leadingcross Green from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Leadingcross Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why Leadingcross Green hosts choose us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Drinks service on request
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Think about shade and seating
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
