Paella party catering in Stamford Hill, cooked live
You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, no cooking, no hours at the stove. We take care of the food. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and vegetable paella, and we are frequently booked for naming days and christenings and family get-togethers.
Most parties in Stamford Hill 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Chicken & chorizo paella
It’s one of the most popular pans at parties, though it is not traditional in Valencia.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What affects the price in Stamford Hill
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Stamford Hill until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your 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 is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
Stamford Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Stamford Hill
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is parking a problem for events in Stamford Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How much does paella party catering cost in Stamford Hill?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
