DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Paella party catering in Crown Wood, made fresh on the day
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Whether it is baby celebrations and family reunions, we can cook vegetable paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
For a party in Crown Wood, your garden is often the best venue. Tell us about access and parking, and we will do the rest. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- 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.

Prices and what affects them

Your questions about paella party catering in Crown Wood
We’re having a ceremony at St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Crown Wood close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
