About paella catering in UB5
We cook every paella from scratch on the day, beginning with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, then the stock, saffron and rice. We cook mixed paella, black rice and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for garden get-togethers and office lunches and staff parties.
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.

Paella catering in UB5: local guide
Across UB5, we cook in 4 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Ruislip, Harrow and Greenford or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Northolt: Thinking of a picnic-style party in Northala Fields? Public parks generally need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Richard's Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. Around midsummer it stays light in Northolt until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
For event organisers in UB5
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in UB5? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Mention any other courses or food
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.

Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
