How our paella party catering works in North Greenwich

A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a picture. Popular choices include churros, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater christenings and naming days and summer garden parties.

Throwing a party in North Greenwich? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Tell us about parking permits. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Working with your venue

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

About the dishes

Churros

Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.

Tapas

Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives while the paella cooks.

Paella compared with other options

Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What happens on the day

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in North Greenwich stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Tell us when and where, and how many.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We set up before guests arrive.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.

FAQs for North Greenwich

We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Could we have live paella in Mudchute Park and Farm?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

Can you cater at a hired venue?

Generally. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.

Can you bring crockery?

We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Have enough chairs for most guests
  • Make sure children stay back from the pans
  • Collect dietary needs with your invites
  • Give the neighbours a heads-up

Children love watching the paella cook.

A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
