- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Book crew catering in advance

Common questions in Church End
What’s the nearest station to Church End for guests?
Harlesden station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Roundwood Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Where we can cook in Church End
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access before and after the event
As a London location, Church End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Church End
- Giant paella pans
- Chicken & chorizo paella

What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Is live paella right for your event?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- 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.
