How our paella catering works in Phoenix Green
We cook every paella from scratch on the day, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. Whether it is christenings and family gatherings and garden get-togethers, we can cook mixed paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
In a hamlet or village like Phoenix Green, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a wonderful venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

A closer look at the menu
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, rather than seafood. It’s a favourite with guests who don’t eat fish.
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, finished with lemon wedges. It’s the pan people photograph.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
