How we price paella catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
- How many guests are eating
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Paella catering for your event in Yiewsley
Paella was made for feeding a crowd: cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan and shared. That is what we bring to events in Yiewsley. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and black rice, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and birthday celebrations.
Around Yiewsley, most London events we are asked about are in gardens, courtyards and hired venues. The thing to plan is parking and unloading, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

About the dishes
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron.
Black rice
Black rice looks dramatic and tastes of the sea, and is popular with adventurous guests.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

A short rest after cooking helps, which is when we typically call guests over.

What else we do in Yiewsley
Yiewsley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Yiewsley for guests?
West Drayton station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Matthew's?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How many paellas should we have?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Is live paella good for a large crowd?
It’s ideal. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
