Paella party catering for your party in Maze Hill

We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues in and around Maze Hill. We’re often asked to cater street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties, serving chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and seafood paella.

In Maze Hill, 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 photo of the garden helps. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Planning a party in Maze Hill

Maze Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Greenwich, in Greater London. For a party in Maze Hill, we can cook in gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and offices. Maze Hill is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.

Parks such as East Greenwich Pleasaunce generally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Christ Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.

Anywhere in SE10, SE3 and E14, we can cook for your guests. Your party could be at a home on Webb Road, The Avenue and Hardy Road or the roads around them.

How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For a late-May party in Maze Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

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.

Planning the cooking area

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot

Maze Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

What we offer

  • Mixed paella
  • Tapas
  • Seafood paella
  • Paella Valenciana
  • Chicken & chorizo paella
  • Vegetable paella
  • Churros

Questions from Maze Hill

Could we have live paella in East Greenwich Pleasaunce?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

How much is live paella catering?

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

Can you supply plates?

If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Is paella OK for kids?

Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.

Why choose live paella in Maze Hill?

Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Why book with us

  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Fast service from the pan

Working with your venue

Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Dishes our guests love

Chicken & chorizo paella

Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.

Vegetable paella

Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters frequently try it too.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
