Paella party catering in Tokyngton

How our paella party catering works in Tokyngton

A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. On the menu are tapas, vegetable paella and mixed paella, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and retirement celebrations.

In Tokyngton, 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. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Paella compared with other options

A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What you get with us

  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • A quote that spells everything out

See How we price And The cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Timings and hours
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Travel, parking and access
  • How many staff you need

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The address or venue name
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Diets and allergies you know about

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.

How to compare caterers

Step by step

On the day, 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. At midsummer, it is light in Tokyngton until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
  2. You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
  3. On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
  4. Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
  5. We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.

Before we arrive

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Leave space around the cooking area

How to get a price

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Plan where rubbish goes
  • Give the neighbours a heads-up
  • Ensure children stay back from the pans
  • Tell us how many children are coming

We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.

Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
