What affects the price in Queens Park
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

Common questions in Queens Park
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Queens Park?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Perfect for your event in Queens Park
It feeds crew and volunteers well.

What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan, popular with families.
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice, cooking in full view.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Trader information and site rules
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Flat, firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
