DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Paella compared with other options
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. Book us and you are free to enjoy it. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Questions from Willesden Green
What about parking in Willesden Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Andrew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
For event organisers in Willesden Green
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Willesden 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.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve, then clear our area.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
Send us the date, your venue or NW10 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
As a London location, Willesden Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
