Paella party catering in Halton

Paella party catering in Halton, made fresh on the day

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. Whether it’s big family gatherings and engagement and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.

In a small place like Halton, 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. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Should I cook it myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

How the day works

On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. A summer party in Halton stays light until about 9:25pm 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.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Tell us where to park and unload

  • Plan a covered spot for wet weather

We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
