Paella party catering in Strawberry Hill, made fresh on the day
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and celebrations of life, serving vegetable paella, seafood paella and mixed paella.
Most parties in Strawberry 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. Send a picture of the garden. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Common questions in Strawberry Hill
What’s the nearest station to Strawberry Hill for guests?
Strawberry Hill has its own station: Strawberry Hill station.
Is parking a problem for events in Strawberry Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you come to Strawberry Hill?

Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Usually, if there is outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
When do you arrive?
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 provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What’s in the pans
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella generally gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.

Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
As a London location, Strawberry Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
