Paella party catering in Bluetown, made fresh on the day
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children typically love a simple chicken paella. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement and leaving parties and garden get-togethers, with mixed paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Country parties near Bluetown suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Space, weather and the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
