Planning an event in Granborough?
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Paella party catering in Granborough, cooked live
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. We are often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and christenings and naming days, with tapas, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In a small place like Granborough, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the set-up. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Common questions in Granborough
How far is Granborough from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
