How our paella party catering works in Peaks Hill
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For family get-togethers and baby celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of churros, mixed paella and tapas for your guests.
Planning a London party in Peaks Hill? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Mention any parking permits. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Have cover ready for a shower
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
