Paella party catering in Fyfield, made fresh on the day
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking, no hours at the stove. The food is our job. We cook vegetable paella, seafood paella and tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and garden parties and summer barbecues.
A country party near Fyfield is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Common questions in Fyfield
Is Fyfield too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Fyfield close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

Step by step
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer party in Fyfield stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
