About our paella party catering in West End
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Whether it’s retirement and leaving parties and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas for your guests.
Around West End, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. A paella pan fits right in. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Thinking of a party in Brentmoor Heath? Cooking in a public park usually needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first.
What your quote should include
- Travel and parking costs
- VAT, if it applies
- How late numbers can change
- How long the team stays
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. A summer party in West End 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.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check the venue allows live cooking

For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
- Waiting and bar staff
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can fill in our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space

Common questions in West End
How far is West End from London?

Can you cook in Brentmoor Heath?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A photo helps.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
