Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, East Sheen is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why choose live paella in East Sheen?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
