Paella party catering in Broad Green

How our paella party catering works in Broad Green

Most gardens can host a paella party, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. Whether it is anniversary celebrations and milestone birthdays, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, churros and vegetable paella.

Throwing a party in Broad Green? Live paella means no cooking for you, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Tell us about parking permits. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

FAQs for Broad Green

What about parking in Broad Green?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Which station should guests use for Broad Green?

The closest is West Croydon station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

Can you bring crockery?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

How long do you need on site?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Do you cook at halls and clubs?

Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.

What happens if it rains?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Can you cater for children?

Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

How early should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.

What affects the price in Broad Green

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How many staff you need
  • The length of service
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The venue or postcode
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • The date and rough timings

Send us the date, your venue or CR0 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

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.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Planning the cooking area

We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:

  • Send a photo of the garden so we can check
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

Broad Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Broad Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
  2. You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
  3. On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
  5. We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Live paella or other catering?

If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
