Paella party catering in Foxendown, cooked live
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. Typical bookings include birthday parties and celebrations of life, serving chicken and chorizo paella, churros and mixed paella.
In a small place like Foxendown, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
