Paella party catering for your party in Bloomsbury
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. We are frequently asked to cater family get-togethers and street and neighbourhood parties, with chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and mixed paella.
Most parties in Bloomsbury 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. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

What affects the price in Bloomsbury
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Waiting and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Send us the date, your venue or NW1W postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Bloomsbury parties: what to know
Bloomsbury is about 1 mile north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cater parties at gardens, halls and venues around Bloomsbury and nearby villages. We cook in all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
Parks such as Lincoln's Inn Fields usually need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Historic houses near Bloomsbury include Dr Johnson's House (0.9 miles south-east) and Benjamin Franklin House (1.1 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Paella party catering in NW1W, W1T and NW1 is planned around your venue and timings. Whether your party is on Drury Lane, Euston Road and Duke's Road or anywhere nearby, we can cook there. Main roads around Bloomsbury include the A401 and A501, which makes travel to your party easy. If your venue is just outside Bloomsbury, we also cover St Pancras (1 mile north-east), Euston (1 mile north-west), Kings Cross (1 mile north), Holborn (1 mile east) and Fitzrovia (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (4 miles south-west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Brompton (3 miles south-west) and Stockwell (4 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Pilsudski Institute of London (within half a mile north-west) and Montfichet's Tower (1.2 miles south-east). Open spaces near Bloomsbury include Barnsbury Wood and Ludgate Hill.

Before you choose a spot

- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Bloomsbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it is light in Bloomsbury until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat.
- We serve, then clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
