Paella party catering for your party in Avon Castle
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. On the menu are vegetable paella, churros and mixed paella, and we are often booked for baby celebrations and milestone birthdays.
Near Avon Castle, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Give separate numbers for children
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Avon Castle is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Common questions in Avon Castle
Is Avon Castle too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How early should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you supply plates?
On request. Crockery or disposables can be added.
