Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
As a London location, Keston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Other catering in Keston
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan seats for most guests
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it’s light in Keston until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
