Brentford questions

What’s the nearest station to Brentford for guests?

Brentford has its own station: Brentford station.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Congregational Church?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Who clears up?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How much paella per person?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Will it be noisy or smoky?

Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

Can you supply crockery?

On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.

Should I cook it myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

How it works

We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer party in Brentford stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. On the day, we set up and get cooking.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

For planners, venues and organisers

Organising a club, school or community event in Brentford? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:

  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch

Brentford 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
