Common questions in Harlesden
What about parking in Harlesden?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Roundwood Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.

What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Where the event is
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Harlesden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
