About the dishes
Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron.
Paella catering for your event in Wembley Park
The cooking is half the fun. Guests gather round as the sofrito sizzles and the saffron colours the rice, and the aroma does the rest. For retirement and leaving parties and festivals, fairs and school events, we can cook black rice, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.
From a terraced garden to a hired hall, events in Wembley Park come in all shapes. Tell us how close we can park, and whether there are steps or narrow passages. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Anything your venue supplies
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Wembley Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Evenings in Wembley Park stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
