Paella party catering for your party in Crook Log
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children typically love a simple chicken paella. We’re frequently asked to cater family reunions and garden parties and summer barbecues, serving vegetable paella, mixed paella and churros.
In Crook Log, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A photo of the garden helps. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
As a London location, Crook Log is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
