Live paella party catering in Fleeden
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Historic houses near Fleeden include Godinton House (2.2 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
