Paella catering in Hatton, cooked live
Live paella catering means we bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients to your event and cook in front of your guests. When it’s ready, it is served straight from the pan. Typical bookings include weddings and evening receptions and community events and fairs, with chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and seafood paella.
Gardens in London can be narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is usually all we need. In Hatton, the bigger question is parking near the house or venue. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. Planning an evening event in Hatton? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

Your questions about paella catering in Hatton
What about parking in Hatton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Hounslow Heath?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Which paellas do you recommend?
Most events choose two or three: a mixed or chicken paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. See the sample menu.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you cater in Hatton?
Yes, we do. Hatton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want something different from the usual buffet or roast, live paella brings colour, aroma and a touch of Spain to your event in Hatton. 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.

Dishes our guests love
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, not seafood. It’s frequently the most popular pan at an event.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury, and is popular with adventurous guests.
Why choose paella catering in Hatton?
Paella is quick to serve and suits mixed diets, which is why it works for so many occasions. It gives people something to gather round, too.
Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We often cook for:
- Company summer parties
- Naming days and family parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Community events and fairs
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well.
Questions to ask before you book
- Any travel, parking or access charges
