What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Chiswick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Mixed paella

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. A summer party in Chiswick stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s 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.
How to prepare
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Warn the neighbours
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep guests happy.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Chiswick questions
Can you cook in Turnham Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Nicholas Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
