Our paella catering in W7
Paella is generous food: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It turns a meal into an occasion. We’re often asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and summer garden parties, with seafood paella, vegetable paella and vegan paella.
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.

Planning live paella in W7
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in W7, so the setting can be anything from Southall, Hanwell and West Ealing to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Hanwell: Thinking of a picnic-style party in Drayton Green? Public parks normally need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. For guests coming by train, Hanwell station is in Hanwell itself. Around midsummer it stays light in Hanwell until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
What’s in the pans
Mixed paella
A mix of chicken and seafood, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The traditional pan has chicken, flat green beans and butter beans, and it is a crowd-pleaser.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Your questions about paella catering in W7
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Is live paella good for a large crowd?
Yes. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can paella be the only main course?
It can be. With bread and salad, paella is a complete main, and tapas or dessert can be added.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
