Paella catering for Spring Grove events
Paella catering in Spring Grove, cooked live
We cook every paella from scratch on the day, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, then the stock, saffron and rice. We are frequently asked to cater staff parties and work lunches and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
From a terraced garden to a hired hall, events in Spring Grove come in all shapes. Let us know where we can stop to unload and about any steps. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Spring Grove, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- The sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Is live paella right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and food can sit out for a while. Paella is cooked in front of your guests and served hot. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- A clear, itemised quote
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
