Paella catering for your event in Queen's Park
Keep it simple, or go all out: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We’ll recommend what fits your event. Whether it is festivals, fairs and school events and milestone birthday parties, we can cook seafood paella, vegan paella and vegetable paella and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Queen's Park, the cooking spot is generally a back garden, a courtyard or a venue’s terrace. Parking and loading are the main things to plan, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. Evenings in Queen's Park stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
- 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.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

FAQs for Queen's Park
Can you cater a reception after a service at West Kilburn Baptist Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in Queen's Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All cooking kit comes with us. Let us know what your venue has, like tables or crockery.
What happens with live paella?
We cook from scratch at your venue in big pans, in front of your guests, and serve straight from the pan.
What paella catering costs

- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, finished with lemon wedges. It is the pan people photograph.
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, not seafood. It is frequently the most popular pan at an event.
Why choose paella catering in Queen's Park?
Outdoor events and live paella go together: cooked outside, served hot and shared.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Fairs, fêtes and festivals
- Big birthdays
- Office lunches and staff parties
- Retirement and leaving parties
For a christening or wedding at a church such as West Kilburn Baptist Church, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Mention any other courses or food
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Count adults and children separately
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, which is when we normally call guests over.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further.
Paella compared with other options
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. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- Drinks service on request
- Fast service from the pan
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Real theatre, not just catering
See How we price And The cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Queen's Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
