Paella party catering for your party in Streatham Hill
Paella is made for relaxed parties: it is served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For baby celebrations and retirement celebrations, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, churros and tapas for your guests.
In Streatham Hill, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A picture of the garden helps. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Paella compared with other options
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

FAQs for Streatham Hill

Streatham Hill station, in Streatham Hill itself.
Do you offer halal options?

Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.

Do you cater for children?

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

About the dishes
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, ideal for guests who skip seafood.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is frequently the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.
For event organisers in Streatham Hill
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. A summer party in Streatham Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
