Paella party catering for Argos Hill events
Argos Hill questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Denys?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Argos Hill close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Do you cater in Argos Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Argos Hill. To check your date, use our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How our paella party catering works in Argos Hill
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. We cook vegetable paella, mixed paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for family get-togethers and summer garden parties.
A country party near Argos Hill is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

At midsummer, it is light in Argos Hill until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
