Paella party catering for Plaistow events
Where we can cook in Plaistow
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
As a London location, Plaistow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices

Paella party catering for your party in Plaistow
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The cooking is the centrepiece, and the food is served hot and generous. Whether it is wakes and memorial gatherings and christenings and naming days, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and churros.
In Plaistow, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. 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, each in a separate pan.

How we price paella party catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a late-May party in Plaistow, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Give separate numbers for children
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Have bins ready
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear.
Add bread, salad and lemon.

Your questions about paella party catering in Plaistow
We’re having a ceremony at Memorial Community Church: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in Keir Hardie Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
