Paella party catering for Broadwater Farm events
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
As a London location, Broadwater Farm is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Mixed paella
- Seafood paella

About our paella party catering in Broadwater Farm
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Popular choices include seafood paella, churros and vegetable paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement celebrations and engagement and anniversary parties.
Most parties in Broadwater Farm 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. Send a picture of the garden. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Working with your venue

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What affects the price in Broadwater Farm
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware

What else we do in Broadwater Farm
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
About the dishes
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock.
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters often try it too.
