Paella catering in London Fields, made fresh on the day
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields. We are often asked to cater garden get-togethers and milestone birthday parties, serving vegan paella, mixed paella and black rice.
Around London Fields, most London events we’re asked about are in gardens, courtyards and hired venues. Parking and loading are the main things to plan, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks and street-food vans serve one portion at a time. A paella pan serves many portions quickly, so everyone can eat at the same time. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury.
How we price paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and unloading
- Whether you need crockery
- Guest numbers
- How many courses
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Count adults and children separately
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Mention any other courses or food
- Make sure each pan is labelled
Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
Can I cook paella for a crowd 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 is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
