Choosing a paella caterer

Before you choose a spot

If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

As a London location, Grahame Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Questions from Grahame Park

Can you cook in Sunny Hill Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Is parking a problem for events in Grahame Park?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

What happens if it rains?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

How much paella per person?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Should we have more than one paella?

Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

What does paella party catering cost?

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Does it make plenty of smoke?

Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

The process

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Grahame Park until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Parking and unloading
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Your choice of paellas
  • How many guests are eating

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

What to tell us

  • What the venue already provides
  • A picture of where we’d cook
