Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid for fish lovers.

What festival paella catering costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The courses you’d like
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For an evening event in Bayswater, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Common questions in Bayswater
What’s the nearest station to Bayswater for guests?
The closest is London Paddington station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you cook in Kensington Palace Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
Do you need power?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.

Why choose live paella in Bayswater?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Catering across Greater London, including Bayswater
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Served hot, straight from the pan
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- The event’s site rules and timings
As a London location, Bayswater is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
