DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
About our paella catering in Yeading
We arrive with the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook the paella in front of your guests. When it’s ready, it is served straight from the pan. For milestone birthday parties and staff parties and work lunches, we can cook black rice, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.
Around Yeading, most London events we are asked about are in gardens, courtyards and hired venues. 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.

About the dishes
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron, and it’s a crowd-pleaser.
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron, cooked in its own pan.

Planning help
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Tell us how many children are coming
After service, we pack down our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.
Paella compared with other options
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, thanks to separate pans. It is served quickly from the pan, so queues move. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Yeading is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Yeading questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
