Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and we’re frequently booked for family reunions and birthday parties.
A country party near Golden Green is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.
About the dishes
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more while the paella cooks.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Golden Green until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Golden Green from London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
