Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
- A spot for our serving station
- Parking near the venue
As a London location, World's End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
