What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- The number of people
- Your choice of paellas

- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d cook

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Have bins ready
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.

What else we do in Queen's Park
Why choose live paella in Queen's Park?
If you want special but not formal, live paella is hard to beat. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Fast service from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Queen's Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Queen's Park: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Queen’s Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at West Kilburn Baptist Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
How much does paella party catering cost in Queen's Park?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
