How our paella catering works in Roxeth

There’s something generous about paella: big pans, bright colours and a crispy base everyone wants a spoonful of. It makes the food an event in itself. Typical bookings include anniversaries and engagement parties and big birthdays, with seafood paella, black rice and vegetable paella.

Gardens in London can be narrow, but a level spot away from fences and trees is generally all we need. For an event in Roxeth, tell us where we can park to unload. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

The process

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Evenings in Roxeth stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and venue.
  2. We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
  3. We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
  4. The sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
  5. We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us your final numbers and diets

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

Roxeth is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

DIY paella versus live catering

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

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.

Events we cater in Roxeth

Paella is quick to serve and suits mixed diets, which is why it works for so many occasions. It gives people something to gather round, too.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

  • Milestone birthday parties
  • Naming days and family parties
  • Staff parties and work lunches
  • Retirement celebrations

Historic houses near Roxeth include Northolt Manor (1.9 miles south-west) and Headstone Manor (1.9 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early.

Common questions in Roxeth

Can you cook in Northwick Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you provide drinks?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.

How much does paella catering cost in Roxeth?

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.

What is live paella catering?

We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook while everyone watches, and serve at the time you want.

Planning for every diet

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:

  • Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
  • Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
  • Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
  • Make sure each pan is labelled

You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.

Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.
