Book paella party catering in Limehouse
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
About our paella party catering in Limehouse
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children typically love a simple chicken paella. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and christenings and naming days, serving mixed paella, churros and vegetable paella.
In Limehouse, 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. Send a picture of the garden. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

How the day works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a late-May party in Limehouse, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

For event organisers in Limehouse
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Limehouse is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
