Paella party catering in North Brixton
Paella party catering in North Brixton, cooked live
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children normally love a simple chicken paella. We’re often asked to cater retirement celebrations and neighbourhood celebrations, with vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Most parties in North Brixton are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a picture of the garden. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
We are set up before guests arrive, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep guests happy.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it is light in North Brixton until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies

North Brixton: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at St Michael's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could we have live paella in Max Roach Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A photo helps.
