Paella party catering in Eastcote, made fresh on the day

Most parties in Eastcote 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 photo of the garden. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Eastcote questions
We are having a ceremony at St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is parking a problem for events in Eastcote?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Eastcote is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
