Paella party catering in Northfields, made fresh on the day
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you are unsure. Whether it’s summer garden parties and birthday parties, we can cook tapas, churros and vegetable paella and more.
Most parties in Northfields 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. A picture of the garden helps. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Northfields: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Northfields?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
We are having a ceremony at Avenue Theatre: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cook inside?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you cater in Northfields?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Northfields and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
