Planning an event in St Pancras?
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Vehicle access before and after the event
As a London location, St Pancras is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, 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. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For event organisers in St Pancras
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in St Pancras? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Paella compared with other options
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Catering across Greater London, including St Pancras
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For an evening event in St Pancras, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
How to get a price
