Paella party catering in East Hill
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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Most gardens can host a paella party, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a picture if you are unsure. We are often asked to cater leaving dos and retirements and family get-togethers, with mixed paella, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella.
A country party near East Hill is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
What affects the price in East Hill
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d cook
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
