Paella party catering near Hampton

Paella party catering for your party in Hampton

Most gardens can host a paella party, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you are unsure. For street and neighbourhood parties and celebrations of life, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and tapas and more.

In Hampton, 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. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Where we can cook in Hampton

No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

Hampton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

About the dishes

Seafood paella

The seafood pan is frequently the showpiece.

Vegetable paella

Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters often try it too.

What affects the price in Hampton

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Parking and unloading
