Paella party catering for your party in Wimbledon Park
Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children normally love a simple chicken paella. Whether it’s leaving dos and retirements and garden get-togethers, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, churros and vegetable paella for your guests.
Most parties in Wimbledon Park are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a photo of the garden. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
About the dishes
Churros
Sugary churros with chocolate, a sweet finish.
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well.
Common questions in Wimbledon Park
What’s the nearest station to Wimbledon Park for guests?
Earlsfield station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Can you cook in King George's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a late-May party in Wimbledon Park, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
