Common questions in Hounslow
Is parking a problem for events in Hounslow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Inwood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you come to Hounslow?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Hounslow and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
Hounslow 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

What else we do in Hounslow
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask about peak-time capacity
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
Larger pans for peak times.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. Evening events in Hounslow have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
