Paella catering in Newland Green, made fresh on the day
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, there is very little waste, and the food is served hot. That is why it works for so many events. Whether it is naming days and family parties and company summer parties, we will put together a menu of mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella and more.
For a rural spot like Newland Green, the countryside is part of the appeal: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Is live paella right for your event?

What paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
- Guest numbers
- How many courses
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It is often the most popular pan at an event.
Mixed paella
A mix of chicken and seafood.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
