Paella catering in Fifield, made fresh on the day
One cooking area feeds plenty of people, there’s very little waste, and the food arrives hot. It’s why live paella suits so many kinds of event. Typical bookings include weddings, from canapés to evening food and community events and fairs, serving mixed paella, vegetable paella and black rice.
In a hamlet or village like Fifield, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a wonderful venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Count adults and children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.

Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, rather than seafood. It is a favourite with guests who do not eat fish.
Mixed paella
Paella mixta combines meat and seafood in one pan, and it’s often the first pan to empty.
