About our paella party catering in Merton Park
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Popular choices include vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas, and we are frequently booked for anniversaries and engagement parties and family reunions.
Most parties in Merton Park 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 photo of the garden. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Organising a club, school or community event in Merton Park? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
