Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Allergen information is available at the stall.
Bowl food for easy eating on the move.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Trader information and site rules
- Flat, firm ground
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
Homerton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Live paella or other catering?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why book with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- A clear, itemised quote
- Real theatre, not just catering
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
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.

Homerton: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Homerton?
Homerton has its own station: Homerton station.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Homerton?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Homerton.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For an evening event in Homerton, 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.
