About paella catering in City of London
Paella was made for feeding a crowd: cooked in the open in a big, shallow pan and shared straight from it. That’s exactly what we bring to your event in City of London. Typical bookings include christenings and family gatherings and community events and fairs, serving vegan paella, black rice and paella Valenciana.
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote, including what’s included.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.

What you get with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Fast service from the pan

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Confirm allergies by email
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.
What’s in the pans
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, rather than seafood. It is often the most popular pan at an event.
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Your questions about paella catering in City of London
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Does paella work for big events?
Very much so. We plan the number of pans and serving points around your numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
