Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
As a London location, Acton Vale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Acton Vale: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Acton Vale?
The closest is Acton Central station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Saviour's Centre for the Deaf?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables are available.

How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Acton Vale stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether you need crockery
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- The length of service
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
