Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children usually love a simple chicken paella. For wakes and memorial gatherings and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of churros, mixed paella and tapas.

In a small place like Mud Row, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated.

Planning for every diet

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Ensure most people can sit to eat
  • Make sure children stay back from the pans
  • Put out bins for general waste and recycling

We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.

Sangria sets the mood.

Working with your venue

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Common questions in Mud Row

How far is Mud Row from London?

About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

When should I book?

As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

How much does paella party catering cost in Mud Row?

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.

Is halal food available?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Where we can cook in Mud Row

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

A closer look at the menu

Churros

Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.

Seafood paella

Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock, for the fish lovers.

How it works

Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a late-May party in Mud Row, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
