About our paella party catering in Tattenham Corner
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The cooking is the centrepiece, and the food is served hot and generous. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and naming days and christenings, with chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and seafood paella.
Near Tattenham Corner, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

How much does paella party catering cost in Tattenham Corner?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.

Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
