Live paella party catering in Seething Wells

Paella party catering in Seething Wells, made fresh on the day

Most gardens can host a paella party, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a picture if you are unsure. Whether it is street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and garden get-togethers, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and vegetable paella for your guests.

Most parties in Seething Wells are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A photo of the garden helps. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

A closer look at the menu

Chicken & chorizo paella

It’s one of the most popular pans at parties.

Seafood paella

The seafood pan is often the showpiece.

How the day works

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it’s light in Seething Wells until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
  2. We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Planning help

Before you choose a spot

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

As a London location, Seething Wells is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
