Agar Town questions
What about parking in Agar Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Agar Town?
Agar Town has its own station: Camden Road station.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
Can we have tapas without paella?
Absolutely, for receptions, parties and evening food.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas are a real course. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Fast service from the pan
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
What affects the price in Agar Town
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of paellas
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
- Space to finish hot dishes
As a London location, Agar Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
