Paella catering in Roxbourne, 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. We cook black rice, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and we are frequently booked for naming days and family parties and festivals, fairs and school events.
Gardens in London can be narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is generally all we need. In Roxbourne, the bigger question is parking near the house or venue. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
About the dishes
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, cooked until the rice is golden. It’s typically the most photographed pan.
Vegetable and vegan paella
Seasonal vegetables on a rich sofrito base make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. In Roxbourne, 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. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

FAQs for Roxbourne
What’s the nearest station to Roxbourne for guests?
The closest is South Ruislip station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is parking a problem for events in Roxbourne?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Are premium seafood options available?
Seafood choices are agreed when we plan the menu.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Is live paella right for your event?
For something a little different, live paella brings colour, aroma and a touch of Spain. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
