Your questions about paella catering in Hampton Hill
Which station should guests use for Hampton Hill?
The closest is Fulwell station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
We’re having a ceremony at Hampton Hill United Reformed Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Are premium seafood options available?
We’ll suggest seafood to suit your menu and budget. Premium shellfish can be added.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What does paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Paella catering for your event in Hampton Hill
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields. Popular choices include seafood paella, mixed paella and paella Valenciana, and we are regularly asked to cater naming days and family parties and anniversaries and engagement parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Hampton Hill, the cooking spot is normally a back garden, a courtyard or a venue’s terrace. The thing to plan is parking and unloading, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many guests are eating
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Hampton Hill, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
A closer look at the menu
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury, and is popular with adventurous guests.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Hampton Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Step by step
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Hampton Hill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
