Paella party catering in Chilton, made fresh on the day
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the party menu is complete. For street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and baby celebrations, we can cook tapas, vegetable paella and churros.
Around Chilton, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. A paella pan fits right in. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
