Paella catering across N6
Paella is generous food: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It turns a meal into an occasion. We are often asked to cater summer garden parties and anniversary celebrations, serving black rice, vegan paella and mixed paella.
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
- The rice cooks in full view, while tapas or canapés go round.
- We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.
Cost
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- A quote that spells everything out
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Who books paella catering?
Paella is quick to serve and suits mixed diets, so it suits all kinds of occasions. It gives people something to gather round, too.
In N6 and nearby, we cater all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:
- Big birthdays
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Company summer parties
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
What affects the price in N6
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many staff you need
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue

For event organisers in N6
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Common questions in N6
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
What seafood can we have?
Seafood choices are agreed when we plan the menu.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
What happens with live paella?
We cook from scratch at your venue in big pans, in front of your guests, and serve straight from the pan.
What equipment do you bring?
We bring all the cooking equipment. Let us know what your venue has, like tables or crockery.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
