Paella party catering in Hounslow, made fresh on the day
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. On the menu are tapas, vegetable paella and mixed paella, and typical bookings are for street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and retirement and leaving parties.
In Hounslow, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a picture of the garden. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Your choice of paellas
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Which courses you have in mind
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

FAQs for Hounslow
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is parking a problem for events in Hounslow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Where we can cook in Hounslow
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Hounslow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
