About our paella party catering in Eversley Centre
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Popular choices include mixed paella, tapas and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and street and neighbourhood parties.
Country parties near Eversley Centre suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, it is light in Eversley Centre until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Give us your final numbers and diets
