Your questions about paella party catering in Roehampton
Is parking a problem for events in Roehampton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Roehampton for guests?
Barnes station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Roehampton.
How our paella party catering works in Roehampton
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. We cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving parties and wakes and celebrations of life.
In Roehampton, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a photo of the garden. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Give separate numbers for children
- Warn the neighbours
- Have bins ready
We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it’s light in Roehampton until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Tell us when you want to eat
