Questions from Belgravia
Could we have live paella in Green Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Belgravia?
The closest is London Victoria station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of people
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- What the venue already provides
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, your venue or SW3 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Belgravia is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
On the menu in Belgravia
- Mixed paella
- Vegetable paella
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
- Churros

Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Sunset in Belgravia is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
Getting a price
