Paella catering for Warren Street events
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Paella catering in Warren Street, made fresh on the day
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields. Whether it is leaving dos and retirements and engagement and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of seafood paella, mixed paella and vegetable paella.
In a rural place like Warren Street, the setting does plenty of the work: a huge pan in a garden or field fits perfectly. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Why choose live paella in Warren Street?

What affects the price in Warren Street
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- The paellas you choose
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Dishes our guests love
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, traditionally with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A vegetable paella is not an afterthought: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Warren Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
- Ask for labels on each pan
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll serve, clear and help keep things moving, so you can relax.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who aren’t big rice eaters.
