Paella party catering in St Margarets, made fresh on the day

A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a picture. Whether it is wakes and celebrations of life and garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of tapas, vegetable paella and mixed paella for your guests.

Most parties in St Margarets are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a picture of the garden. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

How the day works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in St Margarets until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Common questions in St Margarets

We’re having a ceremony at All Souls: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

Do you cater for children?

Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.

Will it be noisy or smoky?

There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

How many paellas should we have?

Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
