About the dishes

Evening paella

Evening paella is hot, filling and fun, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.

Paella wedding breakfast

Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables.

What happens on the day

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. In Paley Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
  2. We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
  4. On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
  5. We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload

Paley Street questions

Can you cook in Ockwells Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

How far is Paley Street from London?

About 28 miles from central London.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, Windsor and Maidenhead included. Find your area.

How long does the paella take?

We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

What space do you need to cook?

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Do you cater for young children?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

How many different paellas?

Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
