Live paella party catering in Walham Green
Your questions about paella party catering in Walham Green
Could we have live paella in William Parnell Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John: 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.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Have bins ready
Kids are fascinated by the huge pans.
Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Walham Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

What paella party catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Walham Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
