What paella party catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

How our paella party catering works in Kingsland
Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Popular choices include churros, tapas and mixed paella, and typical bookings are for family get-togethers and milestone birthdays.
In Kingsland, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A picture of the garden helps. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

FAQs for Kingsland
Can you cook in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Usually, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Kingsland parties: what to know
Kingsland is about 1 mile north-east of Hoxton, in Greater London. Tell us where your party in Kingsland will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Kingsland is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Thinking of a party in Shoreditch Park? Cooking in a public park generally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. Nearby historic houses include Sutton House (1.1 miles east) and Mansion House (2.3 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.
This part of Greater London takes in N1, E8 and N16. From Dove Road, Glebe Road and Ufton Road or a nearby road, we can cook there. Close by, we cover parties in De Beauvoir Town (1 mile south-west), Dalston (1 mile east), Mildmay (1 mile north-west), Canonbury (1 mile west) and Newington Green (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in London (3 miles south), City of Westminster (4 miles south-west), Marylebone (4 miles south-west), Kensington (6 miles south-west), Walthamstow (4 miles north-east) and Hampstead (5 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Metropolitan Free Hospital (under half a mile south) and Clowns Gallery-Museum (within half a mile east). Not far away are St. James's Park Lake and Gillespie Park.

Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels, for the fish lovers.
Vegetable paella
Vegetable paella in its own right, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Kingsland is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Give separate numbers for children
- Plan seats for most guests
- Plan where rubbish goes
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. A summer party in Kingsland stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
