Paella catering for Newbury Park events

Paella catering in Newbury Park, made fresh on the day
Watching it cook is part of the experience. Guests gather round as the sofrito sizzles and the saffron colours the rice, and the smell does the rest. For christenings and family gatherings and staff parties and work lunches, we can cook vegan paella, mixed paella and black rice for your guests.
Gardens in London can be narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is typically all we need. In Newbury Park, the bigger question is parking near the house or venue. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For something a little different, live paella adds colour, smell and theatre. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Newbury Park hosts choose us
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. Evenings in Newbury Park stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Give us a contact for the day

Before you choose a spot

- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
Newbury Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What else we do in Newbury Park
What paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What the venue already provides
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d cook
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request clear labels at the serving table
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you or your venue about timings.
Sangria and bar staff can be added to serve drinks you provide.
