Paella catering across SW6
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Each is cooked separately, so diets are easy to manage. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and naming days and family parties, with vegetable paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We cook live on the day while guests watch.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
What it costs in SW6
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

How we price paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How long we’re needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Who books paella catering?
Paella is one of the few dishes that handles mixed diets easily, thanks to separate pans for each version. Everyone gets the same kind of meal.
Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:
- Community events and fairs
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
- Summer garden parties
- Weddings and evening receptions
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
