About our paella catering in Walton Court
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We will suggest what suits your event. We are frequently asked to cater retirement celebrations and christenings and family gatherings, with paella Valenciana, seafood paella and vegetable paella.
A place like Walton Court often has a hall, a club or a pub garden nearby; live paella can work at any of them, given permission and outdoor space. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Why choose paella catering in Walton Court?
Live paella is food and a show in one. The pans become a focal point, and the food itself is hot and plentiful.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Garden get-togethers
- Staff parties and work lunches
- Birthday celebrations
For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of the Good Shepherd, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
Before booking anyone
- Staff numbers and hours
- Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
- A clear list of what’s included
- Allergen information for each dish
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Vegan paella

- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Mixed paella
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Fast service from the pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
See Our prices page Or The cost guide.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ensure each pan is labelled
- Confirm allergies by email
After service, we pack down our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.
