Paella party catering for your party in Coldharbour
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. We cook churros, tapas and vegetable paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and wakes and celebrations of life.
Throwing a party in Coldharbour? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Tell us about parking permits. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
