About our paella catering in Boreham Street
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: a garden, marquee, barn, courtyard or field. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with seafood paella, vegetable paella and vegan paella.
In a small place like Boreham Street, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

What’s in the pans
Vegetable and vegan paella
Seasonal vegetables on a rich sofrito base make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, rather than seafood. It’s frequently the most popular pan at an event.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Around midsummer it stays light in Boreham Street until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Ensure each pan is labelled
Paella is best eaten as soon as it’s ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who are not big rice eaters.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
