Paella party catering in Loxford, made fresh on the day
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Whether it is street and neighbourhood parties and baby celebrations, we can cook vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
In Loxford, 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. A picture of the garden helps. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it’s light in Loxford until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

FAQs for Loxford
Can you cook in Loxford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Luke's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cover Loxford?
We do. We cook at events in Loxford and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
