Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Vehicle access before and after the event
As a London location, Strawberry Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
