Paella party catering for your party in Stonebridge

Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and churros, and typical bookings are for street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and wakes and memorial gatherings.

Planning a London party in Stonebridge? Live paella means no cooking for you, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Tell us about parking permits. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • Waiting staff and crockery on request
  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan

See Our pricing Or The cost guide.

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

  • Ensure children stay back from the pans
  • Give separate numbers for children
  • Collect dietary needs with your invites
  • Have bins ready

When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.

Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

Step by step

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a late-May party in Stonebridge, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

  1. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
