Paella catering for Stonebridge events
Paella catering for your event in Stonebridge
Live paella catering means we bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients to your event and cook in front of your guests. When it is ready, it’s served straight from the pan. On the menu are seafood paella, vegan paella and mixed paella, and we are often booked for anniversaries and engagement parties and company summer parties.
London gardens are often long and narrow, which is fine for live paella as long as there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. For an event in Stonebridge, tell us where we can park to unload. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint Michael and All Angels?

Which station should guests use for Stonebridge?
Harlesden station, in Stonebridge itself.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.

About the dishes
Mixed paella
A mix of chicken and seafood.
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, traditionally with alioli. It is a striking addition to a seafood menu.
How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. In Stonebridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
