Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- A pitch away from tents and structures
Honor Oak is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
