How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in North End until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
As a London location, North End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for North End
We’re having a ceremony at St. Augustine's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for North End?
Slade Green station, in North End itself.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How we price paella party catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
- The address or venue name
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
Seafood paella typically gets the photos.
Chicken & chorizo paella
It’s one of the most popular pans at parties, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
Live paella or other catering?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
