How our paella party catering works in Chadlington
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. For garden get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of tapas, seafood paella and vegetable paella for your guests.
A country party near Chadlington is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Why choose live paella in Chadlington?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it is light in Chadlington until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
