Paella catering across RM6

A couple of different pans covers everyone: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Each is cooked separately. On the menu are seafood paella, vegetable paella and mixed paella, and we are often booked for big birthdays and garden parties and summer barbecues.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss.

  1. You share your date, numbers and venue.
  2. We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. The sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
  5. We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.

What you’ll pay

There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Catering events across RM6

There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in RM6, so the setting can be anything from Goodmayes, Chadwell Heath and Aldborough Hatch to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.

Chadwell Heath: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Warren Junior School, can book us as a food stall. For guests coming by train, Chadwell Heath station is about 0.9 miles away. Around midsummer it stays light in Chadwell Heath until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.

Is live paella right for you?

Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and the food sits out. Paella is cooked live and served hot.

About the dishes

Mixed paella

A mix of chicken and seafood.

Vegetable and vegan paella

A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.

Organising for someone else?

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Events we cater in RM6

Paella is one of the few dishes that handles mixed diets easily, thanks to separate pans for each version. Nobody gets a token ‘special meal’.

Almost any gathering can work with live paella. In RM6, people book us for events such as:

  • Leaving dos and retirements
  • Anniversary celebrations
  • Fairs, fêtes and festivals
  • Weddings and evening receptions

Planning the cooking area

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
