Paella party catering near Round Street
How our paella party catering works in Round Street
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children normally love a simple chicken paella. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and anniversary celebrations, with tapas, vegetable paella and churros.
In a small place like Round Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Common questions in Round Street
Is Round Street close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in Jeskyns?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- The paellas you choose
Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. Sunset in Round Street is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Planning help
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Warn the neighbours
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Is live paella right for your party?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
