It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children typically love a simple chicken paella.

- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Your questions about paella party catering in Newchapel
Could we have live paella in Centenary Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Newchapel?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Live paella or other catering?
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

- No hidden extras in your quote
