Paella party catering for your party in Hounslow
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. We cook tapas, vegetable paella and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving parties and big birthdays.
Most parties in Hounslow are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a photo of the garden. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Hounslow is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Hounslow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
