Paella party catering for Printstile events
How our paella party catering works in Printstile
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. Whether it’s big birthdays and garden parties and summer barbecues, we can cook seafood paella, vegetable paella and tapas and more.
Near Printstile, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

FAQs for Printstile
Is Printstile too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Lawrence?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How much does paella party catering cost in Printstile?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater in Printstile?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Printstile. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
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.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Working with your venue
