Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

How our paella party catering works in Kings Cross
Most gardens can host a paella party, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. For retirement and leaving parties and celebrations of life, we can cook churros, mixed paella and seafood paella and more.
Planning a London party in Kings Cross? Live paella means no cooking for you, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Mention any parking permits. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. A summer party in Kings Cross 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.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Kings Cross questions
We’re having a ceremony at Holy Cross Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you supply plates?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Kings Cross.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Kings Cross is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
