Live paella party catering in Hyde farm estate
Hyde farm estate: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Stephen's Church?
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. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Wandsworth Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
What does paella party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and time of the event
- The courses you’d like
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
At food time, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
Step by step
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. For a late-May party in Hyde farm estate, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
Ask for a quote
