Catering events across E11

E11 covers everything from Leyton, Forest Gate and Bakers Arms to 1 small villages and hamlets, and live paella suits every kind of setting. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access.

Leytonstone: Parks such as Leyton Jubilee Park normally need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. For guests coming by train, Leytonstone High Road station is in Leytonstone itself. In Leytonstone, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.

Working with your venue

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

How we price paella catering

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

The number of people
Your choice of paellas
Waiting and bar staff
Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
