About our paella party catering in Teddington
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a photo. Whether it is family get-togethers and anniversary celebrations, we can cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella and more.
In Teddington, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A picture of the garden helps. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
It’s one of the most popular pans at parties.
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters often try it too.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Give separate numbers for children
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Add a diet question to the invitation
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
Sangria sets the mood.
The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For a late-May party in Teddington, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or TW11 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

What paella party catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The courses you’d like
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Perfect for your party in Teddington
It works whatever the occasion, from a first birthday to a ruby wedding.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Celebrations of life
- Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers
- Family get-togethers

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- We cover Teddington and the whole of Greater London
