Paella party catering in Duckett's Green

Paella party catering in Duckett's Green, made fresh on the day

A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer barbecues and neighbourhood celebrations, with vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.

Throwing a party in Duckett's Green? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Mention any parking permits. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Your questions about paella party catering in Duckett's Green

What about parking in Duckett's Green?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?

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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Do you come to Duckett's Green?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Duckett's Green. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

How do you work out quantities?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Can you do a kids’ option?

Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

How we price paella party catering

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • How many courses
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Your choice of paellas
  • How long we’re needed on site

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Getting an accurate quote

To speed things up, tell us:

  • The courses you’d like
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • The venue or postcode
  • Diets and allergies you know about

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.

Space, weather and the venue

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

As a London location, Duckett's Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

What we offer

  • Churros
  • Seafood paella

What happens on the day

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. Sunset in Duckett's Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We set up before guests arrive.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook.
  5. We serve, then clear our area.

How to prepare

DIY paella versus live catering

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