Our paella catering in TW6
Everything is cooked from scratch on site, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, then the stock, saffron and rice. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, black rice and vegetable paella, and we’re frequently booked for community events and fairs and office lunches and staff parties.
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.

Landmarks near Heathrow
We cook for events around The Queen's Arms, Space Studio West London and Bedfont Primary School and the streets around them. There is a railway station in Heathrow itself: Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, handy for guests travelling by train.

Live paella across TW6: what to know
Across TW6, we cook in 3 towns and 6 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Bedfont, Harlington and Hatton or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Heathrow: For guests coming by train, Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station is in Heathrow itself. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Bedfont Primary School, can book us as a food stall. In Heathrow, 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.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides

The menu, dish by dish
Vegetable and vegan paella
Seasonal vegetables on a rich sofrito base make a paella that stands on its own. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Black rice
Black rice gets its colour from squid ink, and is typically served with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Live paella or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple but has no theatre, and food can sit out for a while. Paella is cooked live and served hot.
