Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

FAQs for Brunswick Park
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Brunswick Park?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Brunswick Park for guests?
New Southgate station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How quickly can you serve?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you come to Brunswick Park?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Brunswick Park is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Summer events in Brunswick Park 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.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Leave space around the cooking area

Paella compared with other options
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- Firm, level ground
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Vehicle access before and after the event
As a London location, Brunswick Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

What festival paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There is 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.

- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
