Paella party catering for your party in Cambridge Heath

Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a photo. We are frequently asked to cater retirement and leaving parties and anniversaries and engagement parties, with churros, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella.

Throwing a party in Cambridge Heath? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Tell us about parking permits. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

For event organisers in Cambridge Heath

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

How the day works

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Cambridge Heath is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

  1. Tell us when and where, and how many.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We arrive before your guests and set up.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook.
  5. We serve, then clear our area.

Preparing for the day

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
