Haggerston questions
Can you cook in Haggerston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Columba?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a photo of the space.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What does paella party catering cost?
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.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, Haggerston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Sangria and bar staff available
- A quote that spells everything out

- We cover Haggerston and the whole of Greater London

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many courses
- Timings and hours
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of where we’d cook
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Plan seats for most guests
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Give separate numbers for children
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans.
Tapas to start keep guests happy.
How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. A summer party in Haggerston stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
