Questions from Harefield
Is Harefield close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could we have live paella in The Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We’ll check availability straight away.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

What your quote should include
- Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- What the price includes, item by item
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
Should I cook it myself?
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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What affects the price in Harefield
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d cook
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Let the neighbours know
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
