Live paella catering in Lampton
Paella catering for your event in Lampton
Watching it cook is part of the experience. People drift over as the sofrito sizzles and the rice turns gold, and the aroma does the rest. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and leaving dos and retirements, serving vegan paella, mixed paella and seafood paella.
Gardens in London can be narrow, which is fine for live paella as long as there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. For an event in Lampton, tell us where we can park to unload. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
About the dishes
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The traditional pan has chicken, flat green beans and butter beans, and it is a crowd-pleaser.
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, and a popular all-rounder.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Planning for every diet

Lampton questions
Is parking a problem for events in Lampton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Inwood Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Which paellas suit our guests?
That depends on who’s coming. A chicken or mixed paella is generally the most popular, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you cater in Lampton?
We do. We cook at events in Lampton and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. In Lampton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu and a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning help
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Lampton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Planning live paella in Lampton
Lampton is about 2 miles north-west of Twickenham, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Lampton or on the outskirts, paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Lampton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Lampton to London (12 miles away).
Thinking of a picnic-style party in Inwood Park? Public parks generally need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Luke, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
We cook at events all over TW3, TW7 and TW5. From York Road, Star Road and Pears Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the pans to you.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
