Paella party catering in Tower Hill, made fresh on the day

You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. We take care of the food. We are often asked to cater naming days and christenings and street and neighbourhood parties, serving mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.

In a small place like Tower Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Planning for every diet

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • A photo of the garden helps us check the space
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Tower Hill: your questions answered

Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Which station should guests use for Tower Hill?

Christs Hospital station, about 0.9 miles west of the centre.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How long do you need on site?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

What about pudding?

We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

Do you provide drinks?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

How early should we book?

The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.

For event organisers in Tower Hill

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

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.

Dishes our guests love

Vegetable paella

A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well, and meat eaters frequently try it too.

Seafood paella

The seafood pan is frequently the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.

What affects the price in Tower Hill

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • The number of people
  • Distance and access to the venue

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The courses you’d like
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

How it works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a late-May party in Tower Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

  1. Tell us when and where, and how many.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We set up before guests arrive.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
