Paella catering in TW4: what to expect
A couple of different pans covers everyone: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Each is cooked separately. We cook black rice, paella Valenciana and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are frequently booked for garden get-togethers and weddings, from canapés to evening food.
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

Paella catering in TW4: local guide
Across TW4, we cook in 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Twickenham, Hounslow West and Cranford to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Hounslow West: For guests coming by train, Hounslow station is about 1.2 miles away. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Paul, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. In Hounslow West, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. The shellfish is added late so it stays tender.
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron.
Events we cater in TW4
It is ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, where guests can mingle while it cooks and then sit down to share.

Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and it is entertaining too.
Questions to ask before booking
- When final numbers are due
- If the price includes VAT
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
- Any travel, parking or access charges
