Paella catering near Tatling End
Live paella or other catering?
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, because each paella has its own pan. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Fast service from the pan
- Real theatre, not just catering

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Count adults and children separately
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
Once the rice is in, it needs about 20 minutes, so we start it at the right moment for your event. If timings shift, we adapt.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or serve your own cake.

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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Your questions about paella catering in Tatling End
Can you cater a reception after a service at St James Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Tatling End?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
