Paella party catering in Broughton

Paella party catering for your party in Broughton

Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. We’re often asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and engagement and anniversary parties, with mixed paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.

For a party in Broughton, your garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about access and parking, and we’ll bring everything else. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Paella compared with other options

Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Choosing a paella caterer

How the day works

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. Sunset in Broughton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  1. Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
  2. You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
  3. On the day, we set up and get cooking.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.

Before we arrive

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

What paella party catering costs

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Parking and unloading
  • The paellas you choose
  • The number of people
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • The address or venue name
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The courses you’d like
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
