North Harrow: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for North Harrow?
Harrow-on-the-Hill station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around North Harrow?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For an evening event in North Harrow, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Where we can cook in North Harrow
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
As a London location, North Harrow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
