Kensal Green questions
Is parking a problem for events in Kensal Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you supply crockery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How far in advance should we book?

How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Kensal Green, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
As a London location, Kensal Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

The menu, dish by dish

Churros
All ages love churros.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
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 keeps things simple.
