How our paella party catering works in Church End

Paella is made for relaxed parties: it is served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. We cook tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for wakes and celebrations of life and milestone birthdays.

Most parties in Church End 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. Send a picture of the garden. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Where we can cook in Church End

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

As a London location, Church End 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 before booking.

How the day works

We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, it is light in Church End 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.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Church End: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Church End for guests?

Harlesden station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

How early should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.

Can you cater for children?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

How many different paellas?

Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.

What do you need at the venue?

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Will the neighbours notice?

Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.

How do you work out quantities?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
