Paella catering in Easton, cooked live
A couple of different pans covers everyone: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Every pan is cooked on its own. We are frequently asked to cater office lunches and staff parties and family celebrations and christenings, with mixed paella, black rice and chicken and chorizo paella.
Somewhere like Easton, a field or garden is frequently the perfect setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Why choose live paella in Easton?

Events we cater in Easton
Few dishes cope with mixed diets like paella, because each version is cooked in its own pan. Everyone gets the same kind of meal.
These are some of the occasions we cater:

- Garden parties and summer barbecues
- Naming days and family parties
- Staff parties and work lunches
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Gregory, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well.

Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
