Paella catering in Netherton, made fresh on the day
We arrive with the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook the paella in front of your guests. When it’s ready, it is served straight from the pan. Whether it’s birthday celebrations and summer garden parties, we can cook paella Valenciana, black rice and seafood paella and more.
In a rural place like Netherton, 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. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Dishes our guests love
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Mention any other courses or food
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Tapas or canapés make a good start as the rice cooks.

Common questions in Netherton
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Netherton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can we choose the seafood?
We’ll suggest seafood to suit your menu and budget. Premium options are available.
Is paella a full meal?
Paella is a meal in itself. Tapas and desserts can be added if you like.
Why choose live paella in Netherton?
Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
