How our paella party catering works in Crondall
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We cook churros, vegetable paella and seafood paella, and we’re frequently booked for baby celebrations and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Crondall, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
What’s in the pans
Vegetable paella
A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought.
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
For event organisers in Crondall
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Give separate numbers for children
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep guests happy.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Crondall stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
