- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
Earlsfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Paella party catering in Earlsfield, made fresh on the day
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. On the menu are churros, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas, and typical bookings are for engagement and anniversary parties and retirement and leaving parties.
Most parties in Earlsfield 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. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Earlsfield questions
Can you cook in King George's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What’s the nearest station to Earlsfield for guests?
Earlsfield station, in Earlsfield itself.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you come to Earlsfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Earlsfield is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
What’s in the pans
Churros
All ages love churros.
Tapas
A few tapas set the scene while they watch the pans.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Why choose live paella in Earlsfield?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Live cooking, not reheated food

Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Earlsfield, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
