Paella party catering for your party in Chinbrook
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and celebrations of life.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Common questions in Chinbrook
Is parking a problem for events in Chinbrook?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Jubilee International Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cover Chinbrook?
We do. Chinbrook is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.

The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a late-May party in Chinbrook, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Give separate numbers for children
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
We arrive before your guests to set up.
