Paella party catering in Millwall, made fresh on the day
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. We are frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and family reunions, serving mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Most parties in Millwall 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. A picture of the garden helps. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Millwall is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Millwall stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
