How our paella catering works in Edmonton
Everything is cooked from scratch on site, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, then the stock, saffron and rice. For family celebrations and christenings and community events and fairs, we can cook paella Valenciana, black rice and seafood paella for your guests.
Gardens in London can be narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is typically all we need. For an event in Edmonton, tell us where we can park to unload. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

After service, we pack down our cooking area.

Occasions we cook for in Edmonton
It needs no kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and marquees where other catering struggles.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Big birthdays
- Anniversary celebrations
- Retirement celebrations
- Weddings, from canapés to evening food
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like All Saints' Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well.
Questions to ask before you book
- Travel and parking costs
- The wet-weather plan
- If the price includes VAT
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What’s in the pans
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Black rice
Black rice gets its colour from squid ink, traditionally with alioli. It is a striking addition to a seafood menu.
What paella catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
