Paella party catering near Chingford Mount
The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Chingford Mount 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.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planning a London party in Chingford Mount? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Tell us about parking permits. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Have bins ready
- Plan seats for most guests
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Give separate numbers for children
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Chingford Mount is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
