What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a late-May party in Park Royal, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

Paella party catering in Park Royal, cooked live
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. For family reunions and neighbourhood celebrations, we can cook churros, mixed paella and seafood paella.
Most parties in Park Royal 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. A picture of the garden helps. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Questions from Park Royal
Can you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Park Royal?
The closest is Harlesden station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Park Royal is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 will do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Have bins ready
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Give separate numbers for children
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
What paella party catering costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will put together a menu and price.
