About our paella party catering in Denvilles
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. On the menu are tapas, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for anniversary celebrations and family get-togethers.
Parties around Denvilles are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. Live paella fits right in. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Denvilles until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your 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.
How to prepare

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
