About paella catering in TW8
Keep it simple, or go all out: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We will recommend what fits your event. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, paella Valenciana and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for naming days and family parties and leaving dos and retirements.
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.

Planning live paella in TW8
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in TW8, so the setting can be anything from Brentford, Northfields and South Ealing to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Brentford: Thinking of a picnic-style party in Kew Green? Public parks usually need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. For guests coming by train, Brentford has its own station, Brentford station. Planning an evening event in Brentford? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and it is entertaining too.
What your quote should include
- Who provides the crockery
- How long the team stays
- How late numbers can change
- The deposit and payment dates
Who books paella catering?
There is no kitchen needed, so it’s at home in gardens, fields and marquees where other catering struggles.
Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:
- Naming days and family parties
- Milestone birthday parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Retirement and leaving parties
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
Your questions about paella catering in TW8
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring all the cooking equipment. Let us know what your venue has, like tables or crockery.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
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. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
