Paella party catering for your party in Walworth
Paella is relaxed food: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, churros and vegetable paella, and we’re frequently booked for anniversary celebrations and big family gatherings.
Throwing a party in Walworth? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Mention any parking permits. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

All ages love churros.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
Walworth 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.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Catering across Greater London, including Walworth
