Paella catering in Mill End, made fresh on the day
Paella has always been food for a crowd: cooked in the open in a big, shallow pan and shared straight from it. That is what we bring to events in Mill End. For anniversaries and engagement parties and leaving dos and retirements, we’ll put together a menu of paella Valenciana, vegetable paella and seafood paella.
In a small place like Mill End, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Questions from Mill End
Is Mill End close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Is Mill End too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Is paella a full meal?
Paella is a meal in itself. Tapas and desserts can be added if you like.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Live paella or other catering?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and the food sits out. Paella is cooked in front of your guests and served hot. 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.

How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Mill End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
