- We arrive in good time to set up.

Planning live paella in HA1
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in HA1, so the setting can be anything from Harrow, Wembley and Kenton to a quiet hamlet: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.
Greenhill: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Parks such as Northwick Park generally need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. In Greenhill, 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 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Who books paella catering?
People book live paella because it is food and entertainment at once. The cooking becomes the centre of the event, and the food is hot and generous.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in HA1 and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Community events and fairs
- Anniversary celebrations
- Company summer parties
- Summer garden parties
What’s in the pans
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want something different from the usual buffet or roast, live paella adds colour, smell and theatre to your event in HA1.
