Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Your questions about paella party catering in Kingston
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Kingston close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability right away.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A photo helps.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Paella compared with other options
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What else we do in Kingston
For event organisers in Kingston
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, it is light in Kingston until about 9:25pm, 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 pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us where to park and unload
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
