We cover 764 places in Greater London. Our events stretch from Aldersbrook to London (about 7 miles away).
If your garden is too small, local venues and clubs near Aldersbrook can be an alternative, as long as there’s outdoor space to cook. Thinking of a party in Valentines Park? Cooking in a public park generally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first.

About our paella party catering in Aldersbrook
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children generally love a simple chicken paella. We are frequently asked to cater retirement and leaving parties and milestone birthdays, serving tapas, mixed paella and seafood paella.
Most parties in Aldersbrook are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A photo of the garden helps. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Plan seats for most guests
- Warn the neighbours
We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
Common questions in Aldersbrook
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Gabriel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in Aldersbrook?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Aldersbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

- Vegetable paella
