Questions from Preston
Which station should guests use for Preston?
South Kenton station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Preston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Preston is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Get facilities approval early
- Think about shade and seating
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Bowl food for standing events.
What affects the price in Preston
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How long we’re needed on site
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Where the event is
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Preston, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
