What’s in the pans
Churros
Churros are a treat for all ages.
Chicken & chorizo paella
It is one of the most popular pans at parties, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. At midsummer, it is light in Leyton until about 9:20pm, 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Leyton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Guest numbers
- Waiting and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What the venue already provides
To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your party in Leyton, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
FAQs for Leyton
Is parking a problem for events in Leyton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
We are having a ceremony at Christian Hope Ministries International: can you cater afterwards?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Normally. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How far in advance should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. We will check availability right away.
