How our paella party catering works in Seven Kings
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. For garden parties and summer barbecues and family reunions, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, churros and tapas for your guests.
In Seven Kings, 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. A picture of the garden helps. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Seven Kings questions
Is parking a problem for events in Seven Kings?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Warn the neighbours
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Have enough chairs for most guests
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
