What else we do in Bexley Riverside
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Which courses you have in mind
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.
Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Summer events in Bexley Riverside have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Bexley Riverside questions
Could we have live paella in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Bexley Riverside?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

- Check every diet is covered by the line-up

- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Larger pans for peak times.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
