Paella party catering in Rowley Green, made fresh on the day
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Popular choices include vegetable paella, tapas and seafood paella, and we are often booked for celebrations of life and milestone birthdays.
In Rowley Green, 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. Send a photo of the garden. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
Seafood paella normally gets the photos.
Churros
All ages love churros.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Rowley Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Rowley Green
What’s the nearest station to Rowley Green for guests?
Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Barnet Gate Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cater for children?
Of course. Children usually love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Why choose live paella in Rowley Green?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. A summer party in Rowley Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
