What else we do in Vauxhall
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Plan seats for most guests
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Have bins ready
- Add a diet question to the invitation
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Add bread, salad and lemon.

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. A summer party in Vauxhall stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.

FAQs for Vauxhall
Which station should guests use for Vauxhall?
Vauxhall has its own station: Vauxhall station.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Usually. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
How much does paella party catering cost in Vauxhall?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, Vauxhall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
