Your questions about festival paella catering in Fitzrovia
What’s the nearest station to Fitzrovia for guests?
Fitzrovia has its own station: London Euston station.
Could we have live paella in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What documents can you send?
Send us your list.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will let you know if we’re available.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you cover Fitzrovia?
Yes, we do. Fitzrovia is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How we price festival paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Paella compared with other options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- We cover Fitzrovia and the whole of Greater London

How the day works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For an evening event in Fitzrovia, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
