Paella catering in DA15: what to expect
Keep it simple, or go all out: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Typical bookings include engagement and anniversary parties and garden get-togethers, with seafood paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
What you will pay
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Paella catering in DA15: local guide
From Eltham, Sidcup and Welling to 1 villages and hamlets, events across DA15 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and live paella suits every kind of setting. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access.
Blackfen: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School, can book us as a food stall. Parks such as Shoulder of Mutton Green normally need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. Planning an evening event in Blackfen? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
How we price paella catering
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in DA15, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Is live paella right for you?
With a barbecue, food comes in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together.
