About our paella party catering in Turnham Green

A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a picture if you are unsure. We’re often asked to cater celebrations of life and baby celebrations, with churros, tapas and seafood paella.

Throwing a party in Turnham Green? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Mention any parking permits. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
