Live paella or other catering?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Paella adds something different in a food line-up. 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.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Where we can cook in City of Westminster
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
As a London location, City of Westminster is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
