What happens on the day
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. Summer events in Acton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.

Event catering near Acton
Acton is about 3 miles west of Kensington, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Acton or on the outskirts, festival paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
Running a fête for a church like Dominion Cinema? A paella pan draws people in. If your event is in Ealing Common, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork.
Here we cover the W3, W4, NW10 and W12 postcode area. We can cater an event on streets such as High Street, Church Road and Woodhurst Road. Acton is on the B490 and A4000, so it is easy for us to reach with the van and pans.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Firm, level ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
As a London location, Acton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Acton
What’s the nearest station to Acton for guests?
Acton Central station, in Acton itself.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Acton?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What does festival paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you cater in Acton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Acton and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Paella compared with other options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why choose Love Paella in Acton
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Drinks service on request
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

About the dishes
Giant paella pans
The huge pan is the star.
Vegan paella
A proper vegan main, in its own pan.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
