Paella party catering for Sewardstone events
How our paella party catering works in Sewardstone
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and mixed paella, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and neighbourhood celebrations.
Throwing a party in Sewardstone? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Tell us about parking permits. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

FAQs for Sewardstone
Could we have live paella in Lee Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is parking a problem for events in Sewardstone?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Usually, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a picture of the space.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Usually. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.

How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it’s light in Sewardstone until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
