Live paella party catering in Enslow
Paella party catering for your party in Enslow
Paella is relaxed food: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. We cook churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for street and neighbourhood parties and anniversaries and engagement parties.
A country party near Enslow is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of paellas
Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d cook

- Anything your venue supplies
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Sunset in Enslow is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve from the pan and pack down.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Count adults and children separately
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
Booked staff help serve and clear.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
