Paella party catering in Tower Hill, cooked live
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work in and around Tower Hill. For anniversaries and engagement parties and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, we can cook tapas, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In Tower 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. Send a picture of the garden. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Plan seats for most guests
- Add a diet question to the invitation
We’re set up before guests arrive.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a late-May party in Tower Hill, 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 choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day

Your questions about paella party catering in Tower Hill
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter ad Vincula?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What about parking in Tower Hill?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Do you cater in Tower Hill?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Tower Hill and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Normally, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a picture and we’ll check.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
Tower Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

- Paella Valenciana
