Paella party catering near Addlestone
About our paella party catering in Addlestone
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. We cook churros, mixed paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are regularly asked to cater big birthdays and celebrations of life.
For a party in Addlestone, your garden is often the best venue. Tell us about access and parking, and we’ll bring everything else. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Seafood paella
- Vegetable paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Mixed paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Churros
- Tapas
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Count adults and children separately
Children love watching the paella cook, at a safe distance.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
Why choose live paella in Addlestone?
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cover Addlestone and the whole of Surrey
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Sunset in Addlestone is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
