Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Served hot, straight from the pan

Paella party catering in Knightsbridge, made fresh on the day

Most gardens can host a paella party, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a picture. For anniversaries and engagement parties and christenings and naming days, we can cook tapas, churros and seafood paella and more.

Planning a London party in Knightsbridge? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Mention any parking permits. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Diets, allergies and planning

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:

  • Keep children and pets away from the burners
  • Let the neighbours know
  • Give separate numbers for children
  • Arrange a gazebo in case of rain

We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.

Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a late-May party in Knightsbridge, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
  3. We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

About the dishes

Churros

Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.

Chicken & chorizo paella

Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.

Space, weather and the venue

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

As a London location, Knightsbridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY paella versus live catering

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

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.
