Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work in and around Greenford. For christenings and naming days and milestone birthdays, we can cook tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
In Greenford, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a photo of the garden.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Greenford: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church)?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could we have live paella in Northala Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Typically. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
