What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Trader information and site rules
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Clear information on power, water and waste
As a London location, Falconwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For an evening event in Falconwood, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive

What else we do in Falconwood
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

What festival paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What the venue already provides
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Send us the date, your venue or DA16 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
