How our paella party catering works in Cowesfield Gate
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. For christenings and naming days and garden parties and summer barbecues, we can cook churros, mixed paella and seafood paella and more.
Near Cowesfield Gate, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Where we can cook in Cowesfield Gate
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
