Paella party catering for your party in Little Stanmore
Add tapas to start, churros for afters and a jug of sangria, and the whole menu is sorted. For leaving dos and retirements and garden get-togethers, we can cook tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella and more.
Most parties in Little Stanmore are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a picture of the garden. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d cook
Send us the date, your venue or HA8 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, Little Stanmore 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’ll advise.

Little Stanmore parties: what to know
Little Stanmore is about 1 mile south-east of Stanmore, in Greater London. Whether your party is in the middle of Little Stanmore or on the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Little Stanmore is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our events stretch from Little Stanmore to London (11 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Lawrence, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Historic houses near Little Stanmore include Headstone Manor (3.1 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Wherever your party is in HA8 and HA7, we can bring paella party catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Mead Road, Tenby Road and Bacon Lane; a party at home on any of them works well with live paella. Close by, we cover parties in Canons Park (1 mile north-west), Edgware (1 mile north-east), Burnt Oak (1 mile east), The Hale (1 mile north-east) and Broadfields Estate (2 miles north). We also cook in nearby towns such as London (11 miles south-east), City of Westminster (8 miles south-east), Marylebone (8 miles south-east), Kensington (8 miles south-east), St Pancras (9 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (10 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Municipal Borough of Hendon (2.7 miles south-east) and Cat Museum (2.4 miles west). Open spaces near Little Stanmore include Mill Hill Old Railway Nature Reserve and Darland's Lake.
- Schools near Little Stanmore include The Northgate School (0.5 miles east)
- Local pubs include Railway Hotel (0.5 miles north-east)
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. A summer party in Little Stanmore stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We arrive before your guests and set up.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve, then clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
