Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.

Planning live paella in WC2H
From Aldwych, Adelphi and Temple to 0 villages and hamlets, events across WC2H range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and live paella works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Clare Market: If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Enon Chapel, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is London Charing Cross station, about 0.6 miles south-west. In Clare Market, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Mention any other courses or food
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put allergy details in writing
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal, or serve your own cake.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Live paella or other catering?
Vans serve one order at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, which suits weddings and parties where everyone eats together.
