How the day works
On the day, 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 the timing is planned around your event. A summer party in Leckhampstead stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.

Your questions about paella party catering in Leckhampstead
Do you come out to small places like Leckhampstead?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Leckhampstead from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How many different paellas?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
For planners, venues and organisers

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
