About our paella party catering in Buscot
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you are unsure. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and churros, and typical bookings are for street and neighbourhood parties and family reunions.
In a small place like Buscot, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
