Kentish Town questions
What about parking in Kentish Town?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity with St Barnabas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
Do you come to Kentish Town?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Kentish Town and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Paella party catering in Kentish Town, cooked live
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We cook churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are often booked for wakes and memorial gatherings and big family gatherings.
Most parties in Kentish Town 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. A picture of the garden helps. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
