Paella catering for your event in Bush Hill
Paella is generous food: big pans, bright colours and a crispy base everyone wants a spoonful of. It turns a meal into an occasion. On the menu are paella Valenciana, seafood paella and vegan paella, and we’re often booked for summer garden parties and naming days and family parties.
Around Bush Hill, most London events we are asked about are in gardens, courtyards and hired venues. Parking and loading are the main things to plan, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

What affects the price in Bush Hill
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
- How many courses
- The length of service
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The date and rough timings
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Bush Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Is live paella right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, thanks to separate pans. It’s served quickly from the pan, so queues move. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. Planning an evening event in Bush Hill? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu and a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, set up 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
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Bush Hill questions
What’s the nearest station to Bush Hill for guests?
The closest is Grange Park station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
We are having a ceremony at Grange Park Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Can we choose the seafood?
We will talk through seafood options when we plan your menu, including premium options if you want them.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
How does live paella catering work?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook in front of your guests, and serve at the time you want.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Why choose paella catering in Bush Hill?
It needs no kitchen, so it’s at home in gardens, fields and marquees where plated meals are hard.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food

Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.
Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron, and it’s a crowd-pleaser.
