How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a late-May party in Harrow, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, Harrow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Your questions about paella party catering in Harrow
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is parking a problem for events in Harrow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Generally, if there is outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What paella party catering costs
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- Timings and hours
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
