About our paella party catering in Eden Park
Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We are frequently asked to cater street and neighbourhood parties and anniversary celebrations, serving vegetable paella, tapas and mixed paella.
In Eden Park, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a photo of the garden. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
As a London location, Eden Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Eden Park
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The courses you’d like
- Where the event is
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Eden Park parties: what to know
Eden Park is about 1 mile south of Beckenham, in Greater London. Whether your party is in the middle of Eden Park or on the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cater in all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. We cook right across the region, from Eden Park to London (about 8 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St John's Eden Park, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Historic houses near Eden Park include Bromley Palace (2.2 miles north-east) and Addington Palace (2.3 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
For paella party catering in BR3, BR4 and CR0, we plan around your venue. That could mean a party in a garden on Whitstone Lane, Brockwell Avenue and St Martin's Lane or the roads around them. We also cook at parties in West Wickham (1 mile south), Spring Park (1 mile south), Coney Hall (1 mile south), Elmers End (1 mile north-west) and Monks Orchard (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (8 miles north), City of Westminster (10 miles north-west), Marylebone (10 miles north-west), Kensington (11 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (10 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include The Mall (2 miles north-east) and National Psychosis Unit (0.6 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Summer Hill and Bramley Bank.
- Schools near Eden Park include Unicorn Primary School (within half a mile north-east)
- Local pubs include The Railway Hotel - West Wickham Restaurant (0.7 miles south-east)
- Other local spots include Municipal Borough of Bromley (1.9 miles north-east)
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Count adults and children separately
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Warn the neighbours
Booked staff help serve and clear.
Tapas to start keep guests happy.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.

What happens on the day
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in Eden Park until about 9:20pm, 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.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- 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’re done.
