Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, ideal for guests who skip seafood.

Seafood paella typically gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Count adults and children separately
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
Grange Mills is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Why choose live paella in Grange Mills?
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Grange Mills hosts choose us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- No hidden extras in your quote

Grange Mills questions
Is parking a problem for events in Grange Mills?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Wandsworth Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you come to Grange Mills?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Grange Mills is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Does it make a lot 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 cater for coeliacs?
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.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks.

- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
