How our paella party catering works in Gallows Corner
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. We cook vegetable paella, mixed paella and tapas, and typical bookings are for wakes and celebrations of life and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Throwing a party in Gallows Corner? Live paella means no cooking for you, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Mention any parking permits. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is frequently the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.
Vegetable paella
Vegetable paella in its own right.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let the neighbours know
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Tell us how many children are coming
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
