Paella party catering for your party in London Fields

Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the whole menu is sorted. For big family gatherings and retirement celebrations, we will put together a menu of seafood paella, mixed paella and tapas.

In London Fields, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A picture of the garden helps. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

How the day works

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in London Fields is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

  1. You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
  2. You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
  3. On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Dietary needs and planning tips

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Plan seats for most guests
  • Keep children and pets away from the burners
  • Count adults and children separately
  • Put out bins for general waste and recycling

Kids are fascinated by the giant pans.

A jug of sangria sets the tone.

DIY paella versus live catering

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Space, weather and the venue

Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

As a London location, London Fields 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.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you’re a guest too. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
