Paella catering in Brunswick Park
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
How our paella catering works in Brunswick Park
One cooking area feeds a lot of people, there is very little waste, and the food is served hot. That’s why it works for so many events. We cook black rice, vegan paella and vegetable paella, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and staff parties and work lunches.
London gardens are frequently long and narrow, which is fine for live paella as long as there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. For an event in Brunswick Park, tell us where we can park to unload. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Dishes our guests love
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. For vegans, the stock is plant-based.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, finished with lemon wedges. It is normally the most photographed pan.

Before you choose a spot

- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Brunswick Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Around midsummer it stays light in Brunswick Park until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
