About paella catering in TW3
A couple of different pans covers everyone: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Every pan is cooked on its own. We cook paella Valenciana, seafood paella and vegetable paella, and we are frequently booked for summer garden parties and festivals, fairs and school events.
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.

Catering events across TW3
From Twickenham, Hounslow and Isleworth to 0 villages and hamlets, events across TW3 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and live paella suits every kind of setting. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access.
Hounslow: For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Hounslow station, about 0.6 miles south-west. Nearby historic houses include Osterley House (1.6 miles north) and Richmond House (1.7 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. In Hounslow, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally 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
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put allergy details in writing

- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
Any staff you book serve and clear, so you can relax.
We can add sangria and bar staff for your own drinks.
About the dishes
Mixed paella
Paella mixta combines meat and seafood in one pan, and it’s frequently the first pan to empty.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. For vegans, the stock is plant-based.
