Live paella party catering in Nash
The process
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 while your guests chat. At midsummer, it’s light in Nash until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price

Paella party catering in Nash, made fresh on the day
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. For naming days and christenings and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of tapas, churros and vegetable paella.
Most parties in Nash are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A picture of the garden helps. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Is live paella right for your party?
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Nash hosts choose us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- We cover Nash and the whole of Greater London
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Nash: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could we have live paella in Coney Hall Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

What affects the price in Nash
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

These details help us quote quickly:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Which courses you have in mind
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.

Planning a party in Nash
Nash is about 3 miles south of Bromley, in Greater London.

We cater in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. We cook right across the region, from Nash to London (about 11 miles away).
Thinking of a party in Coney Hall Recreation Ground? Cooking in a public park generally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first.

Nash is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Nash is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
