Paella party catering for your party in Eton
Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children usually love a simple chicken paella. Popular choices include seafood paella, tapas and churros, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving parties and engagement and anniversary parties.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. For a late-May party in Eton, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Children love watching the paella cook.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
What’s in the pans
Churros
All ages love churros.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
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.
