Paella party catering in St Ann's, cooked live
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. Whether it’s naming days and christenings and birthday parties, we can cook tapas, churros and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
In St Ann's, 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. Send a photo of the garden. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Parties in St Ann's: gardens, venues and local tips
St Ann's is about 2 miles north-west of West Hackney, in Greater London. Give us the address of your party in St Ann's, and we will plan the journey and set-up. St Ann's is one of 764 places in Greater London where we cook. We cook right across the region, from St Ann's to London (6 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Bruce Castle (1.3 miles north) and Sutton House (2.7 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Ann's Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.

What else we do in St Ann's
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it’s light in St Ann's 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.

Common questions in St Ann's
Could we have live paella in Chestnuts Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

St Ann's has its own station: Seven Sisters station.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What affects the price in St Ann's
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies

We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Where we can cook in St Ann's
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, St Ann's is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in St Ann's

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For event organisers in St Ann's
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Is live paella right for your party?
