How our paella party catering works in Newington Butts
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. On the menu are seafood paella, churros and tapas, and typical bookings are for christenings and naming days and anniversary celebrations.
Most parties in Newington Butts 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 photo of the garden helps. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Newington Butts questions
Can you cook in Newington Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What about parking in Newington Butts?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
How many different paellas?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
