Live paella party catering in Eyhorne Street
How our paella party catering works in Eyhorne Street
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. For street and neighbourhood parties and celebrations of life, we’ll put together a menu of seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella and more.
A country party near Eyhorne Street is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Tell us how many children are coming
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The date and time of the event

Common questions in Eyhorne Street
What’s the nearest station to Eyhorne Street for guests?
Hollingbourne station, in Eyhorne Street itself.
Do you come out to small places like Eyhorne Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, it is light in Eyhorne Street until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
