Paella party catering for your party in Acton Green
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we’re often booked for anniversary celebrations and retirement and leaving parties.
In Acton Green, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A photo of the garden helps. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Acton Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Acton Green for guests?
Acton Green has its own station: South Acton station.
Could we have live paella in Turnham Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you cover Acton Green?
We do. We cook at events in Acton Green and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Dishes our guests love
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course.
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more to start.
The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. Sunset in Acton Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
