About our paella party catering in Grazeley
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you are unsure. Typical bookings include wakes and celebrations of life and birthday parties, with churros, tapas and mixed paella.
In a small place like Grazeley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

What’s in the pans
Tapas

Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock, for the fish lovers.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Grazeley until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Ask for a quote
