Paella party catering in Adelphi, made fresh on the day
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. We cook seafood paella, tapas and churros, and we’re frequently booked for garden get-togethers and milestone birthdays.
Most parties in Adelphi are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a photo of the garden. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How we price paella party catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The length of service
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a late-May party in Adelphi, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Adelphi parties: what to know
Adelphi is about 1 mile south-east of Marylebone, in Greater London.

Adelphi is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cook.
For guests coming by train, Adelphi has its own station, London Charing Cross station. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Savoy Chapel, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.
Paella party catering in W1D, W1F and WC2H is planned around your venue and your guests. Whether your party is on York Road, Drury Lane and Maiden Lane or anywhere nearby, we can cook there.

Paella compared with other options
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
