How our paella party catering works in Findon
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We cook vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and we are often booked for wakes and celebrations of life and anniversaries and engagement parties.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
