Live paella party catering in Ditton
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
How our paella party catering works in Ditton
Add tapas to start, churros for afters and a jug of sangria, and the party menu is complete. Typical bookings include street and neighbourhood parties and garden get-togethers, with seafood paella, vegetable paella and mixed paella.
Near Ditton, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
FAQs for Ditton
Is Ditton close to London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Francis Assisi?
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.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Normally, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a photo and we will check.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Is live paella right for your party?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
