About our paella party catering in Askett
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. For baby celebrations and summer garden parties, we can cook churros, vegetable paella and mixed paella and more.
In a small place like Askett, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why us?
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
What paella party catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, it’s light in Askett until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a level space ready for the pans

FAQs for Askett
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Dunstan?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Askett from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
