Paella catering across W4
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: a garden, marquee, barn, courtyard or field in and around W4. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, black rice and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for community events and fairs and garden get-togethers.
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
What you’ll pay
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Why live paella works
Paella is one of the few dishes that handles mixed diets easily, thanks to separate pans for each version. Everyone gets the same kind of meal.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Garden parties and summer barbecues
- Family celebrations and christenings
- Staff parties and work lunches
- Community events and fairs
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Give us separate numbers for children
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll serve, clear and help keep things moving, so you can enjoy your guests.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For event organisers in W4
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
