Paella party catering in Yiewsley, made fresh on the day
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. We’re often asked to cater baby celebrations and wakes and celebrations of life, serving chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and seafood paella.
Planning a London party in Yiewsley? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Tell us about parking permits. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

FAQs for Yiewsley
What’s the nearest station to Yiewsley for guests?
The closest is West Drayton station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What about parking in Yiewsley?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Dishes our guests love
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more while the paella cooks.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella normally gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.
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. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Live paella or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
