How our paella party catering works in Broadfields Estate
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We’re frequently asked to cater leaving dos and retirements and anniversaries and engagement parties, serving seafood paella, tapas and churros.
In Broadfields Estate, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A picture of the garden helps. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Broadfields Estate: your questions answered
What about parking in Broadfields Estate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.
Do you cover Broadfields Estate?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Broadfields Estate is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, it is light in Broadfields Estate 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.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Before we arrive
