About our paella party catering in Hurlingham
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and the food is served hot and generous. Typical bookings include anniversaries and engagement parties and big birthdays, with chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and churros.
Most parties in Hurlingham are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a picture of the garden. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Add a diet question to the invitation
We’re set up before guests arrive, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Tapas to start keep hunger at bay.
The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. A summer party in Hurlingham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the 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 set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve, then clear our area.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
Questions from Hurlingham
Can you cook in Parsons Green (park)?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Dionis?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cover Hurlingham?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Hurlingham and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it is not traditional in Valencia.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is frequently the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Somewhere close to park and unload
As a London location, Hurlingham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
