How our paella party catering works in Greenhill
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’re often asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and celebrations of life, serving churros, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella.
In Greenhill, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a picture of the garden. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What else we do in Greenhill
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. A summer party in Greenhill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The number of people
- The paellas you choose
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Greenhill: your questions answered
What about parking in Greenhill?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
We’re having a ceremony at Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Normally. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is generally the best advert for the party.

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Greenhill? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
