Alperton: For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Wembley Central station, about 0.8 miles north. Historic houses near Alperton include Pitzhanger Manor (2.1 miles south) and Gunnersbury Park (3 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. Around midsummer it stays light in Alperton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Travel, parking and access
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many staff you need
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Mention any other courses or food
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who are not big rice eaters.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Your questions about paella catering in HA0
Does paella work for big events?
Yes, that is what it is made for. We plan the number of pans and serving points around your numbers.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is paella enough as a main?
Yes. Paella with bread and salad makes a full main course, and tapas or dessert can be added.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
