Paella party catering near Newbury Park
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Paella party catering in Newbury Park, made fresh on the day
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. On the menu are churros, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater leaving dos and retirements and birthday parties.
Planning a London party in Newbury Park? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Mention any parking permits. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Newbury Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Your questions about paella party catering in Newbury Park
We’re having a ceremony at Saint Laurence Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Newbury Park for guests?
The closest is Seven Kings station, roughly 1 mile away.
How early should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Is live paella right for your party?
If you want special but not formal, live paella is hard to beat. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
