Before you choose a spot

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Access for unloading at set-up
  • Spacing from tents and other structures
  • A level pitch on firm ground

As a London location, Harrow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

  • What the venue already provides
  • Where the event is
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

For a stall that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

  • Catering across Greater London, including Harrow
  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

The process

The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For an evening event in Harrow, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. We check your dates.
  2. We agree menu and pitch.
  3. Burners and pans go up.
  4. The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
  5. We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Harrow: your questions answered

Could we have live paella in Northwick Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Is parking a problem for events in Harrow?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

What if the weather’s bad?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
