Paella catering in NW10: what to expect

Live paella catering means we bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients to your event and cook in front of your guests. When it is ready, it’s served straight from the pan. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and birthday celebrations, with vegan paella, paella Valenciana and black rice.

The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring.

  1. We start with a few details about your event.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
  4. We cook live on the day while guests watch.
  5. It is served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Planning the cooking area

Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

What’s in the pans

Seafood paella

Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, finished with lemon wedges. It is the pan people photograph.

Mixed paella

Paella mixta combines meat and seafood in one pan, and it’s frequently the first pan to empty.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Mention any other courses or food
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Ask for labels on each pan

Any staff you book serve and clear, so you can relax.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not provide them.

Is the paella gluten-free?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

What equipment do you bring?

All cooking kit comes with us. Let us know what your venue has, like tables or crockery.

Can you cook indoors?
