Paella party catering for your party in East Village
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. For wakes and celebrations of life and garden parties and summer barbecues, we can cook churros, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas for your guests.
Throwing a party in East Village? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Tell us about parking permits. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
