Your questions about paella party catering in Enfield Chase
What’s the nearest station to Enfield Chase for guests?
Enfield Chase has its own station: Enfield Chase station.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically, if there is outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Let the neighbours know
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Count adults and children separately
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a late-May party in Enfield Chase, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area

Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Events in Enfield Chase and across Greater London
