About our paella catering in Burlington Estate
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it is engagement and anniversary parties and weddings and evening receptions, we can cook mixed paella, paella Valenciana and vegan paella for your guests.
Gardens in London can be narrow, which is fine for live paella as long as there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. For an event in Burlington Estate, tell us where we can park to unload. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

How we price paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Your choice of paellas
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
For event organisers in Burlington Estate
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in Burlington Estate? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Is live paella right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, paella makes vegetarian, vegan and halal guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate pans. It’s served quickly from the pan, so queues move. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Burlington Estate?
Bond Street station, in Burlington Estate itself.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Around midsummer it stays light in Burlington Estate until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- We put together a menu and a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- The rice cooks in full view, while tapas or canapés go round.
- It’s served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Mention any other courses or food
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
A short rest after cooking helps, and that’s when we invite guests up.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.

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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
