Paella party catering for your party in Spitalfields
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a picture if you’re unsure. Typical bookings include big family gatherings and anniversary celebrations, serving churros, seafood paella and mixed paella.
In Spitalfields, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A photo of the garden helps. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

FAQs for Spitalfields
We are having a ceremony at Christ 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.
Can you cook in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. A summer party in Spitalfields stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive before your guests and set up.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat.
- We serve, then clear our area.
