Paella catering in Fulwell, cooked live
Everything is cooked from scratch on site, beginning with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, then the stock, saffron and rice. We cook vegan paella, mixed paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for weddings, from canapés to evening food and leaving dos and retirements.
Gardens in London can be narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is typically all we need. For an event in Fulwell, tell us where we can park to unload. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Perfect for your event in Fulwell
Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets, which is why it works for so many occasions. It also gives guests something to watch and talk about.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Office lunches and staff parties
- Garden get-togethers
- Fairs, fêtes and festivals
- Weddings, from canapés to evening food
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Michael's, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Common questions in Fulwell
What’s the nearest station to Fulwell for guests?
Fulwell has its own station: Fulwell station.
We are having a ceremony at St Michael's: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you bring everything you need?
Pans, burners and ingredients all come with us. You just need a suitable spot and access.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Does paella work for big events?
Yes. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
For event organisers in Fulwell
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.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Where we can cook in Fulwell
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Fulwell 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’ll advise before booking.

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area.
We can add sangria and bar staff to serve drinks you provide.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Fulwell, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- We cook live on the day while guests watch.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. For vegans, the stock is plant-based.
Live paella or other catering?
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, paella makes vegetarian, vegan and halal guests easier to cater for, because each paella has its own pan. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
