Paella party catering in Ealing
The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. A summer party in Ealing stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Paella party catering in Ealing, made fresh on the day
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking, no hours at the stove. The food is our job. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and wakes and celebrations of life, with churros, mixed paella and seafood paella.
In Ealing, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A picture of the garden helps. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Plan seats for most guests
- Count adults and children separately
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.

Ealing questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Saviour's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Ealing for guests?
The closest is Ealing Broadway station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
What does paella party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
