About our paella party catering in Earl's Court
It’s 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. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Typical bookings include street and neighbourhood parties and garden parties and summer barbecues, with mixed paella, churros and seafood paella.
In Earl's Court, 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. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What affects the price in Earl's Court
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many courses

Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. A summer party in Earl's Court stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive before your guests and set up.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat.
- We serve, then clear our area.
