Paella party catering for Silvertown events
How our paella party catering works in Silvertown
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. For celebrations of life and naming days and christenings, we can cook seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
Most parties in Silvertown are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A photo of the garden helps. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. Sunset in Silvertown is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Common questions in Silvertown
We’re having a ceremony at St Barnabas' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could we have live paella in Thames Barrier Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Normally. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
What does paella party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
