Paella party catering for your party in Neasden

In Neasden, 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. Send a picture of the garden. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Your questions about paella party catering in Neasden
What’s the nearest station to Neasden for guests?
Brent Cross West station, about 1.3 miles north-east of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at St Catherine's Church Neasden with St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables are available.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. A summer party in Neasden 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.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve from the pan and pack down.
Getting ready for the day

What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels, for the fish lovers.
Chicken & chorizo paella
It’s one of the most popular pans at parties.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Neasden 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
