Paella catering across SE10
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, there’s very little waste, and the food arrives hot. That’s why it works for so many events. Popular choices include black rice, vegetable paella and mixed paella, and typical bookings are for fairs, fêtes and festivals and leaving dos and retirements.
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.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Cost
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Paella catering in SE10: local guide
SE10 covers everything from Greenwich, St Johns and Deptford to 2 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Greenwich: For guests coming by train, Greenwich has its own station, Maze Hill station. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Meridian Primary School, can book us as a food stall. Around midsummer it stays light in Greenwich until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
Paella compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple but has no theatre, and food can sit out for a while. Paella is cooked live and served hot.

What paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Whether you need crockery
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of where we’d cook
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.
Questions from SE10
Are premium seafood options available?
Seafood choices are agreed when we plan the menu, including premium options if you want them.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How does live paella catering work?
We set up a cooking area at your venue, cook the paella from scratch in large pans while your guests watch, and serve it straight from the pan.
Can paella be the only main course?
It can be. With bread and salad, paella is a complete main.
