Paella party catering for Fortune Green events
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
How our paella party catering works in Fortune Green
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the party menu is complete. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and churros, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and garden get-togethers.
Throwing a party in Fortune Green? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Mention any parking permits. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Fortune Green questions
What about parking in Fortune Green?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Which station should guests use for Fortune Green?
West Hampstead Thameslink station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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.
