Your questions about paella party catering in Bow Common
What about parking in Bow Common?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Bartlett Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Bow Common is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.

What else we do in Bow Common
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. A summer party in Bow Common stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

DIY paella versus live catering
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’ll do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
