Paella party catering in Eastwood, made fresh on the day
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and retirement and leaving parties, with seafood paella, mixed paella and churros.
In a small place like Eastwood, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the set-up. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

FAQs for Eastwood
How far is Eastwood from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Eastwood?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
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.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
How much does paella party catering cost in Eastwood?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Count adults and children separately
- Have bins ready
- Let the neighbours know
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
Sangria sets the mood.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions to ask before booking

- How each diet is kept separate
- Plates, cutlery and napkins, or disposables
- Travel and parking costs
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. 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 Eastwood, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Share the running order, including any speeches
