Paella party catering in Cold Brayfield, made fresh on the day

Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. On the menu are tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella, and we are regularly asked to cater birthday parties and garden get-togethers.

A country party near Cold Brayfield is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Choosing a paella caterer

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.

Why choose live paella in Cold Brayfield?

For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella fits perfectly. 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.

Your questions about paella party catering in Cold Brayfield

Is Cold Brayfield close to London?

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.

Do you come out to small places like Cold Brayfield?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

What do you need at the venue?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Do you cook inside?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

What happens on the day

The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, it’s light in Cold Brayfield until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
