Paella party catering in Chavey Down, made fresh on the day
Most gardens can host a paella party, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a picture if you’re unsure. On the menu are vegetable paella, seafood paella and mixed paella, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
Country parties near Chavey Down suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Live paella or other catering?
