Do you cater for children?

Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
About our paella party catering in Broadland Row
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Popular choices include churros, vegetable paella and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater christenings and naming days and birthday parties.
A country party near Broadland Row is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Count adults and children separately
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
