Paella catering across HA2
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We will recommend what fits your event. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer barbecues and weddings and evening receptions, with chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and black rice.
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away.

Live paella across HA2: what to know
HA2 covers everything from Harrow, Hatch End and Wealdstone to 0 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access.
Harrow: Parks such as Northwick Park normally need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. For guests coming by train, Harrow-on-the-Hill station is about 0.7 miles away. Planning an evening event in Harrow? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
Is live paella right for you?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you or your venue about timings.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.
Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Black rice
Black rice gets its colour from squid ink, and is generally served with alioli. It’s a striking addition to a seafood menu.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Events we cater in HA2
Outdoor events and live paella go together: it’s cooked in the open, served hot and eaten together.
Here are some of the events we cook for in HA2 and Greater London:
- Big birthdays
- Office lunches and staff parties
