Paella party catering for Hoxton events
About our paella party catering in Hoxton
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking, no hours at the stove. We take care of the food. On the menu are tapas, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and we’re frequently booked for retirement celebrations and family get-togethers.
Throwing a party in Hoxton? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Tell us about parking permits. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

How we price paella party catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Hoxton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive before your guests and set up.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat.
- We serve, then clear our area.

Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Hoxton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella typically gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.
Questions from Hoxton
Is parking a problem for events in Hoxton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Which station should guests use for Hoxton?
Hoxton station, in Hoxton itself.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A photo helps.
How early should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we’ll check.
