Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice, cooking in full view.
What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Flat, firm ground
As a London location, Westbourne Green 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 will advise.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.
Why choose live paella in Westbourne Green?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
