Paella catering in RM14: what to expect
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We will recommend what fits your event. We are often asked to cater garden get-togethers and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving paella Valenciana, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving.
- Send us 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 sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.
What you’ll pay
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- A clear, itemised quote
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

Paella catering in RM14: local guide
Across RM14, we cook in 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hornchurch, Upminster and Upminster Bridge to a quiet hamlet: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.
Upminster: Parks such as St. Andrew's Park typically need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. For guests coming by train, Upminster has its own station, Upminster station. Around midsummer it stays light in Upminster 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’s dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Paella compared with other options
Vans serve one order at a time. A paella pan serves many portions quickly, which suits weddings and parties where everyone eats together.

The menu, dish by dish
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together, and it is often the first pan to empty.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A vegetable paella is not an afterthought: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Your questions about paella catering in RM14
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
