Live paella party catering in Edgware
Questions from Edgware
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew?
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. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in Stoneyfields Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Will the neighbours notice?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a picture of the space.
Do you cover Edgware?
Yes, we do. Edgware is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Paella party catering in Edgware, made fresh on the day
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the whole menu is sorted. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and birthday parties, serving tapas, churros and mixed paella.
Most parties in Edgware 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. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Edgware 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.

- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.

- The paella cooks while your guests chat.
- We serve from the pan and pack down.
