Paella party catering in West Hendon, cooked live
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work in and around West Hendon. We cook tapas, mixed paella and churros, and we are often booked for big family gatherings and street and neighbourhood parties.
In West Hendon, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. A photo of the garden helps. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated.

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
West Hendon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in West Hendon stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
