What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
- How many courses
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.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Paella party catering for your party in Westbourne
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the party menu is complete. Typical bookings include neighbourhood celebrations and naming days and christenings, serving seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros.
In Westbourne, 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. Send a picture of the garden. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Westbourne is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Westbourne until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
