Planning help
For event organisers in Kensal Rise
Organising a club, school or community event in Kensal Rise? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have bins ready
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
After service, we pack down, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Where we can cook in Kensal Rise
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
Kensal Rise 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 will advise before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
