Paella catering in HA6: what to expect
There’s something generous about paella: big pans, bright colours and a crispy base everyone wants a spoonful of. It makes the food an event in itself. We are often asked to cater weddings, from canapés to evening food and birthday celebrations, serving chicken and chorizo paella, black rice and vegan paella.
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss.
- First, tell us 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.
- It’s served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
What it costs in HA6
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Eastbury: If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Emmanuel Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well.

Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Request clear labels at the serving table
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in HA6? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Is live paella right for you?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch.

FAQs for HA6
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Is paella a full meal?
Yes. With bread and salad, paella is a complete main, and tapas or dessert can be added.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
