Planning live paella in Bedfont
Bedfont is about 1 mile west of Feltham, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Bedfont or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Bedfont is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Bedfont to London (about 15 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Strawberry Hill House (4.6 miles east) and Osterley House (4.7 miles north-east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking, so ask early if you are booking one. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Fairholme Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser.
Paella catering in TW14, TW6 and TW13 is planned around your venue. We can cater an event on streets such as Elm Road, New Road and East Road or the roads around them.

About our paella catering in Bedfont
Live paella catering means we bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients to your event and cook in front of your guests. When it is ready, it’s served straight from the pan. On the menu are vegetable paella, mixed paella and vegan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthday parties and garden parties and summer barbecues.
London gardens are often long and narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is generally all we need. In Bedfont, the bigger question is parking near the house or venue. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Planning help
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Bedfont is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Bedfont
What about parking in Bedfont?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Which station should guests use for Bedfont?
The closest is Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It’s ideal. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Tell us what else is being served
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Have seats for most of your guests
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll serve, clear and help keep things moving, so you can enjoy your guests.
We can add sangria and bar staff for your own drinks.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Live paella or other catering?
Vans serve one order at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, so everyone can eat at the same time. 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.

DIY paella versus live catering
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. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
