A summer party in Little London stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

How our paella party catering works in Little London
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We are often asked to cater naming days and christenings and wakes and celebrations of life, serving seafood paella, mixed paella and tapas.
In a small place like Little London, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
