Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Have bins ready
- Plan seats for most guests
We arrive before your guests to set up.

Your questions about paella party catering in West Brompton
Is parking a problem for events in West Brompton?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Can you cook in Gwendwr Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cover West Brompton?
We do. West Brompton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Tell us how many and their ages.

How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if you can

- Roughly how many adults and children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot

- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
As a London location, West Brompton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in West Brompton until about 9:20pm, 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Let us know the timings for the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
