Paella catering for Littleworth Corner events
Paella catering in Littleworth Corner, cooked live
Paella is generous food: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It makes the food an event in itself. Typical bookings include weddings and evening receptions and garden get-togethers, serving mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and paella Valenciana.
In a rural place like Littleworth Corner, the setting does a lot of the work: a huge pan in a garden or field fits perfectly. Let us know about access and ground conditions. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Littleworth Corner? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, finished with lemon wedges. It’s normally the most photographed pan.

- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
