Paella party catering in Berry's Green, made fresh on the day
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. We are frequently asked to cater family reunions and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving tapas, vegetable paella and churros.
In Berry's Green, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a photo of the garden. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Berry's Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Is live paella right for your party?
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
