Paella party catering in Westbourne Green, cooked live
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. For naming days and christenings and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, we will put together a menu of mixed paella, tapas and seafood paella and more.
Throwing a party in Westbourne Green? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Mention any parking permits. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Questions from Westbourne Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What about parking in Westbourne Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we will check.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Westbourne Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. A summer party in Westbourne Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
