About our paella party catering in Little Venice
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we’re often booked for garden parties and summer barbecues and family get-togethers.
Most parties in Little Venice are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A picture of the garden helps. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Little Venice questions
Can you cook in Kensington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Little Venice?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- What the venue already provides
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Expected numbers
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Little Venice stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat.
- We serve from the pan and pack down.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Share the running order, including any speeches
