Paella party catering in Brimsdown, made fresh on the day
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a picture. We are frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and leaving dos and retirements, with mixed paella, seafood paella and tapas.
In Brimsdown, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A photo of the garden helps. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Brimsdown questions
Could we have live paella in Lee Valley Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Brimsdown?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. For a late-May party in Brimsdown, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your 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.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Count adults and children separately
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans, from a safe distance.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
How we price paella party catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How long we are needed on site
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
