How our paella party catering works in Snaresbrook
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. For street and neighbourhood parties and wakes and celebrations of life, we can cook churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
Most parties in Snaresbrook 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 picture of the garden helps. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Snaresbrook until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Is parking a problem for events in Snaresbrook?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you come to Snaresbrook?
We do. Snaresbrook is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Dishes our guests love
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well.
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives to start.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Anything your venue supplies
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Snaresbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
