About our paella party catering in Enfield Island Village
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Popular choices include seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella, and typical bookings are for big family gatherings and anniversary celebrations.
In Enfield Island Village, 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. A picture of the garden helps. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

FAQs for Enfield Island Village
Can you cook in Gunpowder Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at Ss Peter and Paul Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

- Make sure children stay back from the pans
