Live Spanish paella in Mount Waverley — 18km from our kitchen, $60–$80 travel fee, Ignacio cooks on-site for your event.
Mount Waverley is one of Melbourne's most established family suburbs in the east, with a strong culture of large gatherings — milestone birthdays with 60 or 80 guests are the norm here rather than the exception. The suburb also has a significant multicultural community that approaches food with genuine seriousness, which means a live paella setup gets a more engaged audience than most.
We've cooked in Mount Waverley for family birthdays, community fundraisers, and events at Jells Park — one of Melbourne's better public outdoor event spaces, accessible from Mount Waverley and Wheelers Hill. The suburb's generous block sizes mean garden setups with long tables and 80+ guests are achievable without compromise.
Mount Waverley is in Zone 2, 18km from Aspendale: a $60–$80 travel fee applies and will be confirmed exactly in your quote. We travel here regularly via the Monash Freeway.

Jells Park, at the border of Mount Waverley and Wheelers Hill, is Melbourne's best public outdoor event space for larger catered events — the lake, the grassed areas, and the covered picnic facilities all work well for groups of 60–200 with a council permit. We've set up at Jells Park multiple times and know the permit requirements and logistics well.
The Mount Waverley Community Centre and Brandon Park Shopping Centre community spaces both accommodate external catering for events. The suburb's strong school community also creates demand for fete and fundraiser catering — an area where live paella consistently performs well as a crowd attraction and revenue generator.
Large family milestone events are Mount Waverley's signature booking — 50th and 60th birthdays where the guest list runs to 80 or 100, multicultural celebrations where extended family attendance is expected, and anniversary events where the occasion warrants going beyond a restaurant. We've catered many of Melbourne's most generously scaled private parties in Mount Waverley gardens.
School and community fundraisers are also a strong format here — the suburb's active community organisations regularly host events, and a live paella is one of the most effective food formats for generating interest and keeping guests on-site longer.
