Paella party catering for Twickenham events
About our paella party catering in Twickenham
Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. For christenings and naming days and summer garden parties, we will put together a menu of churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In Twickenham, 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. A photo of the garden helps. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Give separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
What affects the price in Twickenham
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we are needed on site
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Anything your venue supplies
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Twickenham 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

About the dishes
Churros
All ages love churros.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it is not traditional in Valencia.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For a late-May party in Twickenham, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Twickenham: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Twickenham?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
We are having a ceremony at Salvation Army: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Do you come to Twickenham?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Twickenham and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
