About our paella party catering in Cuxton

Country parties near Cuxton suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Cuxton? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

- Real theatre, not just catering

Questions from Cuxton
Could we have live paella in Baty's Marsh?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is Cuxton too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. 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, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Is my garden big enough?
Typically, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a photo of the space.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer party in Cuxton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
