Paella party catering in Honor Oak, made fresh on the day
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Popular choices include tapas, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for christenings and naming days and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Throwing a party in Honor Oak? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Mention any parking permits. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Common questions in Honor Oak
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Augustine: can you cater afterwards?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is parking a problem for events in Honor Oak?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Do you cover Honor Oak?
We do. We cook at events in Honor Oak and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot

- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
As a London location, Honor Oak is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a late-May party in Honor Oak, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
