Foxbury questions
What about parking in Foxbury?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Chislehurst Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How we price festival paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why Foxbury hosts choose us
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Drinks service on request
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- A level pitch on firm ground
As a London location, Foxbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For an evening event in Foxbury, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
