Live paella or other catering?

- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Your questions about paella party catering in Hannington
What’s the nearest station to Hannington for guests?
Overton station, about 3.4 miles south-west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you come to Hannington?
We do. Hannington is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Hannington until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
