Yiewsley: your questions answered

Can you cater a reception after a service at St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Could we have live paella in Northala Fields?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Can you do a kids’ option?

Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

What do you need at the venue?

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

When do you arrive?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

About our paella party catering in Yiewsley

A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Whether it’s garden get-togethers and retirement and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of tapas, mixed paella and churros for your guests.

In Yiewsley, 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. A photo of the garden helps. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

What happens on the day

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. Sunset in Yiewsley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
