Working with your venue

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Festival paella catering in Putney Vale, cooked live
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. We cook churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater school and charity events and crew, volunteer and VIP catering.
London street parties and fairs in Putney Vale need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- How many courses
- The length of service
- Parking and unloading
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Anything your venue supplies
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Access for unloading at set-up
- The event’s site rules and timings
As a London location, Putney Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
