Paella party catering in Easton, made fresh on the day
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Popular choices include tapas, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and we’re frequently booked for milestone birthdays and street and neighbourhood parties.
In a small place like Easton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the set-up. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
For somewhere as remote as Easton, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
FAQs for Easton
Do you come out to small places like Easton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Agnes' Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. See all areas.
Do you cater in Easton?

Paella compared with other options
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why Easton hosts choose us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
