Paella catering in Kingston, made fresh on the day
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Every pan is cooked on its own, so diets are easy to manage. We cook vegetable paella, paella Valenciana and vegan paella, and we are often booked for christenings and family gatherings and summer garden parties.
A place like Kingston often has a hall, a club or a pub garden nearby; any can work for paella, with permission and somewhere outside to cook. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:

After service, we pack down our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, thanks to separate pans. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
