Paella party catering in Falconwood
Falconwood: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Falconwood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to Falconwood for guests?
Welling station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Paella compared with other options
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella fits perfectly. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

About the dishes
Churros
All ages love churros.
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Count adults and children separately
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
