About our paella party catering in Eastfields
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For naming days and christenings and family get-togethers, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and churros.
Most parties in Eastfields are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A picture of the garden helps. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Your questions about paella party catering in Eastfields
We’re having a ceremony at St. Mark's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about parking in Eastfields?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
Do you come to Eastfields?
We do. We cook at events in Eastfields and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Paella compared with other options
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Eastfields stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
