Your questions about paella party catering in Boxford
Is Boxford too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Boxford close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Do you cater for children?
Of course. Children usually love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Why choose live paella in Boxford?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Why choose paella party catering in Boxford?
It’s the easiest way to feed a party without being stuck in the kitchen, and guests love it.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Boxford, paella can be the star of the food. We often cook for:
- Wakes and celebrations of life
- Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers
- Milestone birthdays
- Leaving dos and retirements
Historic houses near Boxford include Benham Park (2.5 miles south) and Shaw House (3.5 miles south-east). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Boxford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
