How our paella party catering works in Blendworth
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The cooking is the centrepiece, and the food is served hot and generous. We are often asked to cater garden get-togethers and wakes and celebrations of life, with churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
Near Blendworth, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Can I cook paella for a crowd 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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
