Paella party catering in Hounslow West, made fresh on the day
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work. We are frequently asked to cater family get-togethers and summer garden parties, serving churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In Hounslow West, 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 photo of the garden. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many courses
- How long we are needed on site
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Your choice of paellas
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of where we’d cook
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
How the day works
On the day, 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 we time everything to your schedule. A summer party in Hounslow West stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
As a London location, Hounslow West is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Mixed paella
- Churros

Your questions about paella party catering in Hounslow West
Could we have live paella in Hounslow Heath?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
