About our paella party catering in Bromley
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you are unsure. We’re frequently asked to cater celebrations of life and retirement and leaving parties, with seafood paella, mixed paella and vegetable paella.
Most parties in Bromley are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A picture of the garden helps. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Why choose live paella in Bromley?

Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
As a London location, Bromley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What paella party catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Hosting a paella party in Bromley

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Bow Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Sutton House (2.2 miles north-west) and Queen's House (3.1 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

- Have cover ready for a shower
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.

Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
What happens on the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
