Paella party catering in Hascombe
Paella party catering in Hascombe, cooked live
Paella is made for relaxed parties: it’s served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. Typical bookings include retirement and leaving parties and christenings and naming days, serving vegetable paella, mixed paella and churros.
A country party near Hascombe is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Is live paella right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Hascombe, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
