Live paella party catering in Streatham Park
How our paella party catering works in Streatham Park
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work. Whether it is retirement and leaving parties and christenings and naming days, we can cook vegetable paella, tapas and churros for your guests.
In Streatham Park, 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. Send a photo of the garden. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, never made in advance and reheated.

Streatham Park questions
We’re having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Alban: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Streatham Park for guests?
Streatham station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service

The process
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 we time everything to your schedule. For a late-May party in Streatham Park, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
