About paella catering in N1P
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, there is very little waste, and the food is served hot. That’s why it works for so many events. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and family celebrations and christenings, with seafood paella, vegetable paella and mixed paella.
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers 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.

Live paella across N1P: what to know
Across N1P, we cook in 4 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hoxton, Angel and Pentonville to a quiet hamlet: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.
Hoxton: Historic houses near Hoxton include Mansion House (1.4 miles south) and Dr Johnson's House (1.6 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking, so ask early if you’re booking one. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Anne with St Columba, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Planning an evening event in Hoxton? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Make sure each pan is labelled
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Sangria and bar staff can be added for your own drinks.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in N1P? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
