About paella catering in TW7
Watching it cook is part of the experience. Guests gather round as the sofrito sizzles and the saffron colours the rice, and the smell does the rest. Popular choices include mixed paella, paella Valenciana and black rice, and typical bookings are for company summer parties and weddings and evening receptions.
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
Prices in TW7

Catering events across TW7
There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in TW7, so whether your event is in Hounslow, Isleworth and St Margarets or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Isleworth: Parks such as Old Deer Park usually need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. For guests coming by train, Isleworth has its own station, Isleworth station. In Isleworth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Live paella or other catering?
For something a little different, live paella brings colour, aroma and a touch of Spain.

Occasions we cook for in TW7
Few dishes cope with mixed diets like paella, because each version is cooked in its own pan. Everyone gets the same kind of meal.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
- Family celebrations and christenings
- Milestone birthday parties
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
The menu, dish by dish
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, cooked until the rice is golden. It is the pan people photograph.
FAQs for TW7
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
What happens with live paella?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook in front of your guests, and serve at the time you want.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
