Paella party catering in Belmont
About our paella party catering in Belmont
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. We take care of the food. Typical bookings include family get-togethers and celebrations of life, with mixed paella, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella.
Parties around Belmont are frequently relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. Live paella fits right in. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives while the paella cooks.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- Which courses you have in mind
- Where the event is
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Party venues around Belmont

Parks such as Howell Hill typically need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is frequently easier. Nearby historic houses include Nonsuch Mansion (1.5 miles north-west) and Fitznells Manor (2.2 miles west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why Belmont hosts choose us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- A quote that spells everything out
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

Can you cook in Howell Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you do a kids’ option?

Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Belmont.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
