About paella catering in N13
Paella has always been food for a crowd: cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan and shared. That is what we bring to events in N13. On the menu are black rice, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella, and typical bookings are for fairs, fêtes and festivals and christenings and family gatherings.
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.
What you will pay
Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Palmers Green: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Anne's Catholic High School for Girls, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Historic houses near Palmers Green include Bruce Castle (1.9 miles south-east) and Athlone House (3.9 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking, so ask early if you are booking one. Evenings in Palmers Green stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
About the dishes
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, not seafood. It is a favourite with guests who don’t eat fish.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Occasions we cook for in N13
Paella is quick to serve and suits mixed diets, which is why it works for so many occasions. It also gives guests something to watch and talk about.
Live paella suits almost any gathering. In N13, people book us for occasions like:
- Anniversary celebrations
- Garden get-togethers
- Big birthdays
- Retirement and leaving parties
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
What affects the price in N13
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Questions from N13
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Which paella is most popular?
Most events choose two or three: chicken or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. See the sample menu.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
