Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Planning an evening event in Isleworth? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.

- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload

Paella catering in Isleworth, made fresh on the day
Paella was made for feeding a crowd: cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan and shared. That is what we bring to events in Isleworth. Popular choices include paella Valenciana, seafood paella and vegan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement celebrations and milestone birthday parties.
London gardens are frequently long and narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is typically all we need. For an event in Isleworth, tell us where we can park to unload. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

What’s in the pans
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Isleworth questions
What about parking in Isleworth?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Isleworth?
Isleworth station, in Isleworth itself.
What happens with live paella?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook while everyone watches, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Is paella enough as a main?
It is a full meal on its own. Tapas and desserts can be added if you like.
What seafood can we have?
Seafood choices are agreed when we plan the menu, including premium options if you want them.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you come to Isleworth?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Isleworth and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Tell us what else is being served
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter as the rice cooks.
How we price paella catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Organising a club, school or community event in Isleworth? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Live paella or other catering?
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, paella makes vegetarian, vegan and halal guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate pans. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- A clear, itemised quote
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
