Paella party catering for your party in Benham Hill
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. On the menu are vegetable paella, mixed paella and tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving parties and family get-togethers.
For a party in Benham Hill, your garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we’ll do the rest. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a late-May party in Benham Hill, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve, then clear our area.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
