About our paella catering in Walton Hall

Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: a garden, marquee, barn, courtyard or field in and around Walton Hall. For big birthdays and company summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of seafood paella, paella Valenciana and vegan paella and more.

Somewhere as small as Walton Hall, a garden or field is frequently the venue. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Catering for every guest

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
  • Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.

Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal.

What we need at the venue

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What we offer

  • Vegan paella
  • Mixed paella
  • Black rice (arroz negro)
  • Paella Valenciana
  • Vegetable paella
  • Seafood paella
  • Chicken & chorizo paella

DIY paella versus live catering

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Step by step

Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Planning an evening event in Walton Hall? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

  1. It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
  2. We suggest a menu and confirm a quote, including what’s included.
  3. On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Prices and what affects them

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Guest numbers
  • How many staff you need
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • The date and rough timings
  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
