Paella catering in SW5: 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 is served straight from the pan. On the menu are paella Valenciana, black rice and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for office lunches and staff parties and community events and fairs.
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- 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.
What it costs in SW5
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Questions from SW5
Which paellas do you recommend?
That depends on who’s coming. A chicken or mixed paella is typically the most popular, alongside seafood and vegetable or vegan pans.
What seafood can we have?
We will talk through seafood options when we plan your menu, including premium options if you want them.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
