Paella catering for your event in Newell Green
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: a garden, marquee, barn, courtyard or field in and around Newell Green. Whether it is christenings and family gatherings and garden get-togethers, we can cook black rice, vegetable paella and paella Valenciana and more.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Count adults and children separately
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we serve when guests are ready.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Newell Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.

Newell Green: your questions answered
Is Newell Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What happens with live paella?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook while everyone watches, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Is paella enough as a main?
It can be. Paella with bread and salad makes a full main course.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Bracknell Forest included. See all areas.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Planners, venues and businesses
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’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
