Your questions about paella catering in Westcombe Park
Is parking a problem for events in Westcombe Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Which station should guests use for Westcombe Park?
Westcombe Park station, in Westcombe Park itself.
How many different paellas?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Which paella is most popular?
That depends on who’s coming. Chicken and mixed paellas tend to go first, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
Is paella a full meal?
It can be. With bread and salad, paella is a complete main, and tapas or dessert can be added.
Do you cover Westcombe Park?
Yes, we do. Westcombe Park is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is live paella right for your event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

- What the caterer needs from your venue
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Make sure each pan is labelled
Paella is best eaten as soon as it’s ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
