Paella party catering in Hanworth, made fresh on the day
Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children normally love a simple chicken paella. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, serving churros, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas.
Most parties in Hanworth are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a picture of the garden. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
