Paella catering in Euston, made fresh on the day

Paella was made for feeding a crowd: cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan and shared. That’s exactly what we bring to your event in Euston. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and retirement and leaving parties, with seafood paella, black rice and paella Valenciana.

In a London neighbourhood like Euston, the cooking spot is generally a back garden, a courtyard or a venue’s terrace. Parking and loading are the main things to plan, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Why choose live paella in Euston?

Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, because each paella has its own pan. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

How it works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Evenings in Euston stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and venue.
  2. We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. The paella cooks as guests gather round.
  5. Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.

How to prepare

  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Paella Valenciana

Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, rather than seafood. It’s a favourite with guests who do not eat fish.

Mixed paella

Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together.

Questions from Euston

What’s the nearest station to Euston for guests?

Euston has its own station: London Euston station.

Can you cook in Lewis Cubitt Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Do you cook inside?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Is paella enough as a main?

It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add tapas first or dessert after.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:

  • Tell us what else is being served
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Make sure each pan is labelled

Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, which is when we usually call guests over.

We can add sangria and bar staff to serve drinks you provide.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What we need at the venue

If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

As a London location, Euston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
