You can keep it simple or build a full menu: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We’ll recommend what fits your event. Popular choices include black rice, paella Valenciana and vegan paella, and we’re often booked for naming days and family parties and milestone birthday parties.

- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.

Planning live paella in EN4
EN4 covers everything from Barnet, New Barnet and Osidge to 1 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access.
Cockfosters: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Trent CofE Primary School, can book us as a food stall. Historic houses near Cockfosters include Wyllyotts Manor (3.4 miles north-west) and Forty Hall (3.9 miles east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking, so ask early if you are booking one. In Cockfosters, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Vans serve one order at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, which suits weddings and parties where everyone eats together.
What your quote should include
- Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
- How late numbers can change
- When payment is due
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, finished with lemon wedges. It is typically the most photographed pan.
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron.
EN4 questions
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Which paella is most popular?
That depends on who’s coming. Chicken and mixed paellas tend to go first, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
What happens with live paella?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook while everyone watches, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Does paella work for big events?
Yes, that’s what it’s made for. We size pans and serving points to your guest list.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
