Paella party catering in Emerson Park, made fresh on the day

Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children usually love a simple chicken paella. For summer garden parties and big birthdays, we can cook churros, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella for your guests.

Most parties in Emerson Park 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 photo of the garden helps. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
