Choosing a paella caterer

Paella party catering for your party in Wembley

A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer barbecues and big birthdays, with tapas, seafood paella and mixed paella.

Throwing a party in Wembley? Live paella means no cooking for you, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Mention any parking permits. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

About the dishes

Chicken & chorizo paella

Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.

Tapas

Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives while the paella cooks.

Should I cook it myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Before you choose a spot

We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:

  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

As a London location, Wembley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Wembley questions

What’s the nearest station to Wembley for guests?

North Wembley station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.

Is parking a problem for events in Wembley?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.

Do you do starters?

Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

Can you cater for children?

Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

Is paella OK for kids?

Of course. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

When should I book?

As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.

What paella party catering costs

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • The length of service

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Expected numbers
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field

How it works

The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Wembley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

  1. Send us your date, address and numbers.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We arrive before your guests and set up.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
