Paella catering for Feltham events

About our paella catering in Feltham

We cook every paella from scratch on the day, beginning with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. Whether it’s company summer parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we will put together a menu of seafood paella, paella Valenciana and black rice and more.

London gardens are often long and narrow, which is fine for live paella as long as there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. In Feltham, the bigger question is parking near the house or venue. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Live paella or other catering?

Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is cooked as one big dish and served together. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Why us?

  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Everything cooked fresh at your event
  • Drinks service on request

Organising for someone else?

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Before you choose a spot

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

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

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

  • Seafood paella
  • Paella Valenciana

FAQs for Feltham

Can you cook in Hounslow Heath?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

What about parking in Feltham?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

How many different paellas?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.

What seafood can we have?

We will suggest seafood to suit your menu and budget. Premium shellfish can be added.

When do you arrive?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Is paella enough as a main?

It can be. Paella with bread and salad makes a full main course, and tapas or dessert can be added.

Step by step

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. Around midsummer it stays light in Feltham 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’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. You get a menu and an itemised quote.
  3. Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook live on the day while guests watch.

Before we arrive

Black rice

Squid ink rice is bold and savoury.

Vegetable and vegan paella

The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron, cooked in its own pan.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

What paella catering costs

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How many guests are eating
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • The length of service

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • The venue or postcode
  • The courses you’d like

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
