Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
As a London location, Warner Estate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Warner Estate questions
Can you cook in Lloyd Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Warner Estate for guests?
Walthamstow Central station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in Warner Estate, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
