Paella party catering in Shepperton, cooked live
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Whether it’s wakes and celebrations of life and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and tapas for your guests.
Around Shepperton, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. A paella pan fits right in. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Travel, parking and access
- Waiting and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
