Paella party catering for Hanworth events
Paella party catering in Hanworth, cooked live
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. We are frequently asked to cater birthday parties and family get-togethers, serving churros, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas.
For a party in Hanworth, your garden is often the best venue. Tell us about access and parking, and we will bring everything else. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Hanworth: your questions answered
How far is Hanworth from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Hanworth for guests?
Bracknell station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. A summer party in Hanworth 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.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
