Paella catering for your event in Northumberland Park
Keep it simple, or go all out: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We’ll recommend what fits your event. Typical bookings include weddings, from canapés to evening food and community events and fairs, serving vegan paella, paella Valenciana and mixed paella.
London gardens are often long and narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is generally all we need. For an event in Northumberland Park, tell us where we can park to unload. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Mention any other courses or food
- Make sure each pan is labelled
- Put allergy details in writing
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or serve your own cake.
What paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Expected numbers
- The courses you’d like
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.

FAQs for Northumberland Park
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Northumberland Park?
Northumberland Park (London) station, in Northumberland Park itself.
Can paella be the only main course?
Paella is a meal in itself. Many hosts add tapas first or dessert after.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you feed a lot of people?
Yes, that’s what it’s made for. We size pans and serving points to your guest list.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Northumberland Park until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Before we arrive
