About our paella party catering in Bailey Green
Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children usually love a simple chicken paella. Whether it’s celebrations of life and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of churros, mixed paella and tapas for your guests.
A country party near Bailey Green is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it’s light in Bailey Green until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
