Paella party catering for Westminster events
Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Westminster 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.

Paella party catering in Westminster, made fresh on the day
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Typical bookings include retirement and leaving parties and anniversaries and engagement parties, with chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and churros.
Most parties in Westminster are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a picture of the garden. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Questions from Westminster
What’s the nearest station to Westminster for guests?
The closest is London Victoria station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is parking a problem for events in Westminster?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Is my garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we’ll check.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cater in Westminster?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Westminster and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Westminster is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price paella party catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- The length of service
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
Children love watching the paella cook, from a safe distance.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
