Paella catering for Jevington events
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about other food at the event
Once the rice is in, it needs about 20 minutes, so we start it at the right moment for your event. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
We can add sangria and bar staff for your own drinks.
Paella catering for your event in Jevington
One cooking area feeds plenty of people, very little goes to waste, and the food arrives hot. That is why it works for so many events. On the menu are vegetable paella, seafood paella and black rice, and we’re frequently booked for retirement and leaving parties and summer garden parties.
In a hamlet or village like Jevington, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a wonderful venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

A closer look at the menu
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, not 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 is often the first pan to empty.

How we price paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, paella makes vegetarian, vegan and halal guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate pans. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
