Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many guests are eating
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Brentford End, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
About our festival paella catering in Brentford End
The pans are part of the attraction. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. We are often asked to cater open days and community events and food and music festivals, serving giant-pan paella, churros and seafood paella.
London street parties and fairs in Brentford End need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Spacing from tents and other structures
Brentford End 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 will advise.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. At midsummer, events in Brentford End stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Let us know the timings for the day
