Planning help
Your questions about festival paella catering in Holland Park
Is parking a problem for events in Holland Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to Holland Park for guests?
Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Holland Park?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
For event organisers in Holland Park
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Access for unloading at set-up
Holland Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
