What affects the price in Crook Log

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • The length of service
  • How many courses
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • How many guests are eating

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The address or venue name
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • The date and rough timings

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Check allergen info is on display
  • Send traders one clear trader pack
  • Schedule crew meals
  • Ask traders about packaging and waste

Our pitch is kept tidy and safe throughout the day.

Bowls and forks for eating on the go.

For planners, venues and organisers

Throwing 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.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Paella compared with other options

Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Why book with us

  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • No hidden extras in your quote

How it works

Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening events in Crook Log have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

  1. Tell us about the event and pitch.
  2. We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
  3. We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
  4. We cook and serve throughout.
  5. We pack down and tidy the pitch.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Crook Log events: pitches and permissions

Crook Log is about 3 miles south-east of Plumstead, in Greater London.

We cook in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Crook Log to London (10 miles away).

Events in parks such as Danson Park need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for. For visitors coming by rail, Bexleyheath station is in Crook Log itself.

Nearby, we also cater events in Upton (1 mile east), Bexleyheath (1 mile east), Welling (1 mile west), Blendon (1 mile south) and Bexley (1 mile south). We also cook in nearby towns such as London (10 miles west), City of Westminster (13 miles west), Marylebone (12 miles west), Kensington (14 miles west), St Pancras (11 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (10 miles north-west).

Before you choose a spot

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
  • Clearance from tents and gazebos
  • Clear information on power, water and waste

Crook Log is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
