What else we do in Parsons Green
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Spacing from tents and other structures
As a London location, Parsons Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Working with your venue

Parsons Green questions
Is parking a problem for events in Parsons Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Do you trade at school fairs around Parsons Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Will there be long queues?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Provide seating near the food
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
Bowl food for easy eating on the move.
