Paella catering in Hampton Wick, made fresh on the day
Watching it cook is part of the experience. Guests gather round as the sofrito sizzles and the saffron colours the rice, and the smell does the rest. For festivals, fairs and school events and engagement and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of vegan paella, seafood paella and vegetable paella.
In Hampton Wick, events range from terrace gardens to hired halls. Let us know where we can stop to unload and about any steps. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Hampton Wick is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
