About paella catering in N18
Live paella catering means we bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients to your event and cook in front of your guests. When it’s ready, it’s served straight from the pan. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and retirement and leaving parties, with chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella.
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.
Pricing in N18

Paella catering in N18: local guide
N18 covers everything from Edmonton, Tottenham and Upper Edmonton to 1 small villages and hamlets, and live paella suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Upper Edmonton: Thinking of a picnic-style party in Pymmes Park? Public parks usually need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Mary's Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. Around midsummer it stays light in Upper Edmonton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area.
We can add sangria and bar staff to serve drinks you provide.
Who books paella catering?
Outdoor events and live paella go together: cooked outside, served hot and shared.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Anniversary celebrations
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Big birthdays
- Festivals, fairs and school events
What’s in the pans
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, not seafood. It’s frequently the most popular pan at an event.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
