Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Brook Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Vegetable paella
- Black rice (arroz negro)
- Mixed paella
- Seafood paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Vegan paella
Paella catering in Brook Green, cooked live
Paella has always been food for a crowd: cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan and shared. That is what we bring to events in Brook Green. On the menu are mixed paella, black rice and vegan paella, and we are frequently booked for engagement and anniversary parties and family celebrations and christenings.
Around Brook Green, most London events we’re asked about are in gardens, courtyards and hired venues. The thing to plan is parking and unloading, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

What affects the price in Brook Green
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- The paellas you choose
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The courses you’d like
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Paella compared with other options
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, thanks to separate pans. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Brook Green questions
What about parking in Brook Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in St Paul's Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Does paella work for big events?
Very much so. We size pans and serving points to your guest list.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
