About our paella catering in Sudbury Hill
A couple of different pans covers everyone: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Every pan is cooked on its own. We’re often asked to cater milestone birthday parties and leaving dos and retirements, serving paella Valenciana, black rice and seafood paella.
In a London neighbourhood like Sudbury Hill, the cooking spot is normally a back garden, a courtyard or a venue’s terrace. The thing to plan is parking and unloading, so tell us about permits, bays or a driveway when you ask for a quote. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, not seafood. It is a favourite with guests who don’t eat fish.
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, finished with lemon wedges. It’s the pan people photograph.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Sudbury Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
