What affects the price in Well Hill
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- The event’s site rules and timings
Well Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Vegan paella
- Tapas
- Giant paella pans
- Seafood paella
- Churros
- Chicken & chorizo paella
Step by step
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Well Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Check the venue allows live cooking

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

FAQs for Well Hill
Is parking a problem for events in Well Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Can you cook in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Will there be long queues?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
What does festival paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Live paella or other catering?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
