Paella catering for Horsleys Green events
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How our paella catering works in Horsleys Green
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We’ll recommend what fits your event. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings and evening receptions and christenings and family gatherings, with vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.
In a small place like Horsleys Green, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and a firm spot near where we park makes set-up easier. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- The paellas you choose
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
About the dishes
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together, and it’s frequently the first pan to empty.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. In Horsleys Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- It’s served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Share the running order, including any speeches
