DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and 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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events in Kensal Green have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us where to park and unload

FAQs for Kensal Green
Do you trade at school fairs around Kensal Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is parking a problem for events in Kensal Green?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.

- Trader information and site rules
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Flat, firm ground
As a London location, Kensal Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What affects the price in Kensal Green
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- The paellas you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
