Paella party catering for your party in Osidge
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a picture. Whether it’s wakes and celebrations of life and baby celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of tapas, vegetable paella and churros and more.
Most parties in Osidge 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. Send a photo of the garden. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

About the dishes
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
How we price paella party catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Your date and when you want to eat
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Osidge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Your questions about paella party catering in Osidge
What about parking in Osidge?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
What’s the nearest station to Osidge for guests?
Oakleigh Park station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Live paella or other catering?
