Our paella catering in DA6
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Each is cooked separately, so diets are easy to manage. Typical bookings include leaving dos and retirements and office lunches and staff parties, serving seafood paella, vegan paella and mixed paella.
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote, including what’s included.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.

Paella catering in DA6: local guide
From Welling, Bexley and Bexleyheath to 0 villages and hamlets, events across DA6 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and live paella suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Upton: For guests coming by train, Bexleyheath station is in Upton itself. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Upland Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Upton stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

Dishes our guests love
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Vegetable and vegan paella
Seasonal vegetables on a rich sofrito base make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
With a barbecue, food comes in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together.
Questions to ask before booking
- Staff numbers and hours

FAQs for DA6

Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
What does paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
